Shawn. I remember you asking me about these. I have not forgotten about you. Just have not had a whole lot of time.
You're right. The price sucks. Surprise surprise
03-26-2009
Instead of solid aluminum, I won't if I could use metal strips? I want something safe and realible and I doubt this would be.
03-26-2009
Is this to clear something Shawn?
Yeah, $85 for a little $8 piece of aluminum is way too high.

Get some 4'' flat bar and get some one with a torch to bend it for you. Then drill the holes.
Stronger. Cheaper. ZZP loses
It can't get much better than that.
03-29-2009
yeah that price is a little steep for a bracket... try making your own
03-29-2009
Yes it is. Do you have or offer something?
What do you mean by 4" Flat bar Parker?

Man you anti ZZP boys are relentless. I am not pro ZZP but $85? By the time you micky mouse this thing together the running around, a 1/2 day on the project you will probably end up wishing you had pulled that wallet out and bought them in the first place. geez....this kinda of stuff is getting old...I know I know don't let the door hit me in the butt...Have a nice day
03-30-2009
I'll look into this. I have to talk to Dixie Sheet Metal tomorrow anyways.
03-31-2009
It is the fact that they brag up their stuff saying buy this buy that and you can go off and make your own for a tenth of what they are charging. I wish I could whip out my wallet everytime I wanted. Must be nice huh?Man you anti ZZP boys are relentless. I am not pro ZZP but $85?

In ZZPs defense they're just running a business... I will promote my item to sell it
understandable the bracket is quite pricey, but it's up to the buyer to do research
03-31-2009
Funny you mention that because EVERY thread that MENTIONS ZZP in a BAD way YOU are there saying the opposite. The way you act in all of you're responses would make somone belive that you work for them.
85 bucks? Yeah 85 bucks is 85 bucks. It's a lot to some people. I guess you are not one of them. Again it must be nice. BUT....AGAIN...It's not nice to spend that 85 bucks on something that is worth maybe a quarter of that.
Back on topic.
03-31-2009
Sorry did not see this post by you Shawn.
I was using 4'' as an estimate. How ever long the bracket is is how logn the steel flat bar will have to be. But it is just a plat peice of steel....Heat it up...bend it....drill holes...done.
03-31-2009
I do understand that....but seriously, I can do better for my $85 than that. Just saying.
And before someone kicks us "do it yourselfers" in the nuts about tried and true blah blah....I think you only need to look at the track record for some of us, and you can draw your own conclusion.
I can charge $175 for porting blowers....but I don't, because people can spend the extra $75 they save for something else.......like maybe an alternator relocation bracket I suppose.
03-31-2009
I agree, but ZZP is kind of like name brand now.... You can buy a Lacoste shirt for $85 or the same St Johns Bay one for $15... you can buy a Pepsi or Coke 2 liter for $1.50, or you can buy the generic Cola for $0.88...
You pay for name brand these days, some people think it makes them look better
03-31-2009
Whoa whoa whoa....now let's not get carried away here. Generic cola tastes more like Pepsi sure, but you can't substitute anything for Coke. And that's just the facts. LOL
03-31-2009
Haha... I'm a Pepsi guy so Cola works perfect for me, haha
Get out of here Coke guy! Also Coke Zero tastes nothing like Coke!
Coke Zero est Nasty!!!!
03-31-2009
Anything Zero/diet is just "turrible" man.....I agree, tastes nothing like Coke.
Look at this, we've turned this perfectly good parts thread into the classic debate.
Time for a new thread? LOL
