Good price, how long ago was that? I got a hold of Roy with Quality Drive Systems, they are a distributor for CV Tech. I don't see any reason we cant buy directly from CVT Tech unless you have to be a retailer? Roy at QDS said that when anyone called looking for the ALT, he would send them to Harold. I told Roy to give us his best price for a calibrated clutch. I also said we might be able to get a group of guys to purchase. I waiting for a price quote. Ill see if he is negotiable. Ill try to get a hold of CVT Tech, Ill have to brush up on my French!!
Sounds good thanks for the leg work, the language barrier has been the problem in the past when dealing with CVT Tech my last attempt to talk to them ended up with here is a email this guy is in the USA and will take care of you that guy wanted to sell me their new latest and greatest clutch for like 550 bux plus shipping said you cant buy the ALT any more, CVT Tech said they still sell the ALT, so the factory sent me to a dealer in the USA that is a bold face liar I have to new in the box ALT clutches so don't need the bullshit of dealing with people like this and gave up on trying to get a group buy, I hope you do better, I preserved documented all the factory numbers from the last group buy so we could buy another batch get the same thing the next time.
I hope you can make this work.
My past dealings with quality drive systems is its a guy that does this part time on the side (not a bad thing its good actually) his pricing is WAY HIGH I got the impression he is just a drop shipper then adds on 30-40% for wasting his time ordering and sending you clutch parts, I have no use for a drop shipper when trying to put together a group buy.
Ludedude was a strange guy but put together a great group buy on clutches this was in 2004?
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=464 then ATV Racing and HRD was getting about 275.00 for a Pilot clutch lude sold them to me for 180.00 each shipped.
