Yes Mike, you can, I'm making more than were listed at time of beginning production.

These will include a laser cut backplate gasket now.

I hope to have these ready in May

Have you posted the list somewhere?  That way we can assure ourselves that we are on it, as opposed to posting here and asking individually (over and over).

Not sure if I'd be breaching people's privacy posting the list up Scott.

I don't mind people posting up or PM'ing me to check.

BRIAN ,

Do these have piston skirt cuttaways , or a Full skirt .

Why Im asking is that they drop in a FSR OS, Magnum , Royal, ASP & Thunder Tiger



Paul Walker is said to have used a FP P/L in a FSR 40 ( refitted for wrist pin circlips  )

Playing Around - The ones with piston cut outs stuff up the equation , as the FPisnt tangental - Ex at side 90 Degrees . >:(
incidently , while we're here , the 45 FSR has differant bore stroke & liner O.D. so is not a interchange , bar front housing & suchlike.  >:(

Full skirt

Oh Goodie .

I think you can put me as Definate on one of these . Three would be usefull, but ONE will have to do .  :(

they run pads , or circlips , on the wrist pin ?? ( Circlips preferable for the FSR , thesell then fit all the FSR Clones,

and time a ASP ( acceleration speed and power , we're told ) down from 160 Exhaust . ) H^^

A note to everyone waiting for these.

I am having to increase the price of each set by $5 because many aren't following my payment instructions.

It's a small amount, but necessary due to lack of co-operation.

In my messages I have asked everyone to accept the paypal fees at their end if they are using a credit card etc, and to ensure I receive the quoted amount. Only a couple of people so far have done so. Some have checked with me and are good people, others have ignored this request or just aren't well aquainted with paypal. I keep my margins very low to keep these as affordable as possible. I do it as a favor to the CL community and occupy myself - not to get rich.

So now instead of trusting people to do the right thing I have had to add an allowance of $5 to each set. Not a big deal to most, but some people are already complaining..  I live on a disability pension and am bankrolling $11K production runs and some people just don't seem to appreciate what I do. Some people just can't be pleased.

Sorry guys, I'm just venting. In any business there will always be problem customers.

I can add you to the ST51 list. I have enough names to do a small run of them after we get through the current workload.

So, even though I don't use a credit card with my PayPal I have to pay an extra $5?  Now I'm up over $190.  Frankly, that is a lot of money for pistons, sleeves, and rods for 2 FP-40s.  For that amount of money, these things better be the best thing since sliced bread.  Unfortunately, I saw the LA-46 piston you made (one of my buddies brought his to the Hazelton contest).  They were having a heck of a time getting it to fit in the motor due to oversize bosses in the piston.  I'm also on a "fixed income" and thinking you can give mine to one of the guys on your waiting list.

I have bought several of the LA 46 units and never had the slightest problem fitting them. They all fit like a glove.
If you don't want them Ill be happy to take them at "over $190".

There's a long waiting list for Brian's craftsmanship and for good reason .

This is somewhat unlikely (but not impossible) as the parts are the same and within microns of each other having been made on a computer numerically controlled machine (CNC) and then inspected and hand deburred and fitted by Brian.

The piston and rod needs to be fitted first on its own without the liner being in place. The engine being held with the venturi up and the back plate end down allowing gravity to help the rod drop to a place on its piston pin where it can easily slide on to the crankshaft pin.

“Hope this helps”

Scott that's for 2 sets that you asked for. It includes piston/liner/rod/pin/head shims/backplate gasket.

Yes, the piston bosses were increased for engine life on the LA46 pistons. Some have mentioned that they found them finniky to assemble, so if I do a second run of them I plan to reduce the bosses a small amount to allow easier assembly.

If you don't want yours it's no problem, the waiting list has ended up larger than the production run.

Hi Brian.


I have read problems with PayPal payment in some customers. 

I want and need to tell you how much your effort is appreciated at least by me. 

Please, check my payments and in case there is something wrong I will refund the amount. 

I am mechanical engineer, and from Bristunt followed the impressive material offered. Once economics let, I began to do business with you.

Your offering is invaluable, as there is EXCLUSIVE!!!.


Please, my heart says keep going, but I completely understand your disappointment.


Big thanks. 


Manuel Cortés.

Emailed to Brian directly. I needed that an needed to share with you.

Kind regards from Spain.

Hi Brian  I haven't heard from you as far as I know.  Is there another way to pay for the FP40 parts??  I don't do paypal, heck, I don't even know how it works.  Years ago I used to buy BSA motorcycle parts (spares, mate) directly from England using a personal check made in the amount they quoted.  Would this work for you??  Thanks,  Roy DeCamara

Hi Roy,

You are on the list and not forgotten. I am just having trouble getting enough productive time to contact all 70 people.

Unfortunately other payment methods become cost prohibitive to both customers and me. There are things like Western Union Money transfer which is very dear. Perhaps one of your flying buddies or a family member have paypal? As long as they tell me who the payment is made on behalf of it's good.

Brian
