I want a TurboJeff Battery tray! Another round possible?

What are the chances of TurboJeff or someone making a tray for the 51R yellow top battery?

Have you contacted him to see if he has any?

Jeff has been out of FD's for awhile now, though I think he will watches the forum.

Yes, it's a battery commonly used on Hondas.

Optima started production on them again. The specs are a little different from the original model though.

I'd be down for one.

I think be is local to Eugene, Oregon.

I'll see if there is any way I can contact him via RPNW.

Jeff has been helping me with my build. I mentioned that people were looking for more of his trays (6-12 months ago) and he seemed uninterested in putting the work into organizing production and dealing with distribution. I'll pass the thread on though.

Another round is always possible. The problem is quantity. 20 is the minimum qty to get a decent cost on making the trays. 40 trays makes the cost reasonable. I get probably 1-2 PMs a month about the trays but I typically don't respond.

If someone wants to put a group buy together I will support it, quantity has to be over 20.

Thanks,
Jeff
