[DML] New angle drives ARE available

Hi All
As pretty much everyone is aware, DMC Texas haven't had angle drives for
some time, and when they did have them, they weren't very reliable (less
so than orignal ones). The word "cheap" sprung to mind readily when I
set about having some of my own made. There is a reason they were
unreliable, and I suspect a similar reason why they've been unavailable
since.
I had a small number made just before Christmas and sold a couple on
ebay. Let's be frank here - they're quite expensive. Largely due to the
US/UK exchange rate, but at $299 incl shipping, still several times the
$60 that DMC's ones were.
...but I've had so many enquiries about them since, that I figured I'd
let everyone know that I can have them made, in singles, at the same
price, if you're happy to wait 14 days before shipping.
My drives are made from scratch from a block of aluminium billet, with
threaded brass fittings that allow for dismantling for servicing,
cleaning and re-lubricating. The gears are hardened steel and the whole
unit is packed with high quality grease. These really are excellent
hand-made quality items. They also come with a new hub nut already
installed.
When got my first DeLorean back in 2001, there was only one place I
could buy an angle drive - Rob Grady's "hardcore" unit. These were
rebuilt by hand with new gears and grease.... for $225. It's 7 years on
now, and mine are 100% brand new, and user-servicable for $299 incl
shipping.
E-mail me off list for photos, T's and C's and payment info if you want one.
