Just placed my order.

So, the answer is yes. BUT, because all of my funds just go from one production to the next production I have to be careful what I produce and what I do R&D on. Its a weekly battle to make sure my back isn't against the wall making sure Wits' End eventually becomes successful. Having product made to intentionally keep it on the shelf to hopefully be able to sell can sometimes be painful
But I've had enough inquiries into just getting the pulley for exactly this reason that I am likely going to be doing a pulley only build. I would have saved a lot of money to do them all at one time but...I got R&D to do, ya know?

I know the pain my friend. Keep up the good work and selling great pruducts....functional products at that. Thanks again.

Clear anodized pulley would look kind of cool, but I'm not trying to make it look cool under my hood. Thats way too much work! I'm fine with either black or clear.

I posted in the wrong thread but anyone that has an unplated aluminum pulley from the kits available years ago that would like to have it anodized with this batch, let me know and I will have it done for free. I have to pay a lot charge and I don't have enough for the lot so I have to pay for it anyway

So thanks to @bulhas ruining my relationship with Parker after I asked about what was brought up...
I stopped by Swagelok this morning because lucky me, they are only 30mins from my house woohoo!
The quality is there but the sheer amount of options can't be touched compared to Parker. Parker is just massive. Swagelok isn't but holy hell their work is phenomenal. I have so many ideas now. Custom tube bending, orbital welding. Cool stuff. So after two hours discussing my projects I am on a great bath to getting kits together. I'm still trying to source the Coalescing filter I can be happy with but I think I have everything worked out...in my head anyway
More info coming in the next few days/weeks~ish

York Kits are SOLD OUT!!!
For those that missed out, I will likely start another run at the end of the year or the beginning of 2017 after, hopefully, some demand picks up. In the meantime, those of you who wanted just the pulleys, I will be doing another pulley run as soon as the brackets are out of production.

All pulleys were dropped off at anodizing first thing this morning. I believe at EOD tomorrow I can pick them up to send to the laser etcher.
The bracket is being cut for first article, welder and then tested with the York I had sent to the fabricator. Once it's verified for alignment and squareness then a jig made and remaining units will be made.
I have a bunch of stuff coming my way for kitting up various installation kits. Once I verify things are good to go then I will work on making custom brackets to make life easier.
