So, after a lot of mail Sten Parner answered and said to me he is going to send them Tomorrow! Whatch out he sends you the right ones! He told me at first he would send mine at 10 April when he will get them from the production! I told him i wanted the 6B (158mm 23mm ) and then he said is going to send them tomorrow!Go Holset or Go RS4Comment

Sten's been on holiday and just got back today, since a week ago... hence the lack of replies! Stock will be shipped 10th April, yes Billman yours will be mailed tomorrow; please let us knwo when they arrive! Pics too if possible
I know there's a couple of sets that are needed ASAP and were ordered on the basis that the rods were in stock, all I can say is sorry for the delay and I"m still trying to find out if Sten has stock to mail these 2 sets out sooner than April 10th. I'll keep you posted.
Also, I've finally got confirmation that funds have been received by all who paid directly to SPM. As for those that paid to me, again all funds are now cleared to me and should be cleared with SPM mid-week.

Looking forward to it... Quick update on the buy. Sten was on holiday all last week, hence no replies... he's come back to me and told me that the only 144's he has left in stock are all 19-pin so sorry, no premature shipments. I know this is gonna inconvenience a couple of of you. Sorry, I tried
Good news is, SPM should be receiving the new shipment of rods in 7 days time... I'll email SPM for an update in a week, and hopefully have some good news.
I've had a lot of interest in a second group-buy, as soon as the first shipment arrives and we're happy then I'll start a new thread for it; I expect we'll put the order in 1month. Those should not have a long wait time.
