These are still in que for machining and I am patiently waiting as well. And yes, the oil necks are made elsewhere. Completely different process and tooling.

This is a great little piece of anodized aluminum goodness that immediately increased my brake feel...... it's nice to see the lack of movement on the reservoir when bleeding brakes

Like I said, this run will have an improved stopper design with a pivot point. I did this because on some cars I noticed that the master cylinder doesn't sit 100% straight due to firewall flexing over the years. The piece shown still needs to be anodized.

I tried this out for the first time on a track day, and it works great. I've been trying for a while to keep a high pedal under threshold braking and this definitely made a difference.

I have an earlier black anodized version. The ball-jointed end on these new ones is a nice improvement.

Still in anodizing. I might have to use another place next time because they are taking forever.

I have a few stainless steel oil necks left.

My EFR turbo kits will be ready in a few weeks.

They are all done and on their way to me. As soon as they are in they will ship out to each individual customer. Thank you for your patience. I know this took longer than expected.

You'll love these once they're on the car guys. Well worth the wait---- it's pretty cool that such a small part can make such a huge difference from the driver's seat
