I'll take one in Pewter....thanks Randy

Ted, do you want a raw kit to have anodized?  Pewter is not one of Tiburon's standard colors.

Randy,
  I'll go with a purple one for my momma!  She uses a lefty 112h and righty 112h depending on which shoulder hurts her more that day, lol.  No kidding!
She already has an accurat-ized one and now she'll have a tiburon-ized one!
Thanks

Hey Randy, I would be interested in 2 in black if they are going to lighten the spools like they did on the 113h kits, it makes a big difference. Lmk if they are going to do this. Ed

Ed, I have one of the spools from when they made the T3N kits a long time ago, and they are very light weight.  To give you an idea, the Tiburon 501 spool (the red spool in the photos below) weighs 3.4 oz.  The Tiburon T3N spool, which is slightly larger in diameter and the same width, only weighs 3.1 oz.  The wall thickness of the T3N spool is thinner than the 501, and there is no way that they could drill them without drilling through. 

I am glad that you mentioned it because I never really looked closely at their old T3N spool, but now that I did, it would seem to make a lot of sense to make their Jigmaster and Squidder spools the same way.  If they made their 501 (and Newell 322) spools the same way, it would bring the weight down to under 3 oz.

Do you still want the two T3N kits?

Thanks,

Randy

I am going to Tiburon on Wednesday and I would like to place the order for the T3N extra narrow 112H 3/0 Senator kits but so far I have only received orders for 12.  Their minimum run is 35 units, and I would feel a lot better ordering them is I had 20 orders in hand.  If you want one and have not ordered it, I would really appreciate it if you would please do it today or tomorrow or Wednesday morning.  If I don't have the 20 units by the time that I meet with Tiburon on Wednesday afternoon, I still plan to run the kits, but it will have to wait until I get orders for at least 8 more kits.

Thanks,

Randy

If you would like an extra narrow (1 5/8" - same width as the 501 and T4N1) topless Tiburon 112H kit for $149 plus $4.94 for shipping to anywhere in the USA, please post here which standard Tiburon color you would like. Tiburon's standard colors are electric blue, cobalt blue, black, silver, red, purple and dark green.  If and when we accumulate 20 orders, I will get a production date and exact cost from Tiburon and then check back with everyone to confirm that their orders are still firm.

Tiburon produced a narrow kit for the 112H high speed 3/0 Senator a  long time ago, and I have verified that they still have their engineering and set ups, so there would be no delays or tooling charges or other costs involved to have them run it again.  All that they would require is a run of 35 kits, and maybe less since they already have the set up.  I believe that they could be ready to ship by the end of March if ordered within the next two weeks.  If there is enough interest, Tom might consider moving a 112H side plate project closer to the front of his project line up.

Please let me know if you would like one.

Thanks,

Randy

Randy: I'll take one in cobalt blue if you have one.
