Unibrace group buy
« on: August 10, 2015, 08:14:40 am »
I'm travelling to the USA at the end of August so I was planning on bringing back a Unibrace XB. Then it occurred to me - we are overdue a group buy on the Unibrace products so I was wondering if there was any interest in another one? I've contacted Bruce in the USA and asked him what sort of discount we would get - hopefully he'll get back to me soon. If there is enough interest on here then I'll ask one of the mods/admins and set one up formally.

I want the unibrace rear under ones. The front one seems to go BELOW the subframe, no thanks reducing clearance even more!

Inside I think this XB would be good and then I can get the rear strut bar for the harnesses  :fighting: :fighting: :jumping:

Jay - any idea where a rear strut bar can be purchased from? cheers :happy2:

I'm waiting on delivery of an XB & UB, but would also like a rear brace bar too

I'd be tempted with the group buy price for an RB  :happy2:

No idea mate :/

Thinking I may have to get something made up as part of a half cage.

I have seen this.

Seen that one before and was a little surprised by the shipping charges. It was also fits in the same location as the XB.

I really want a bar to go from strut to strut so to speak - that could be used for harnesses (if possible?), in addition to the XB.

Ok team I've had word back from Bruce. Please find the prices below. I've also asked him if he'd be willing to include the Mk7 chassis XBQ at a discount price and I'm awaiting his reply.

Quote
For a UK Group Buy price we would require a 20 piece total order (not counting spacer kits or nutsert tools). The Individual prices would be as follows (inc. shipping):
UNIbrace XB/XB-3/UBQ* US$360.00
UNIbrace UB US$380.00
UNIbrace RB US$280.00
M8 HD Nutsert Tool US$35.00
Spacer Kit US$35.00

* the UBQ is the Mk7 chassis under body bracing.

If people could indicate their continued/discontinued interest so I know whether to trouble the mods regarding setting up a group buy. If those active on other forums could spread the word it would be greatly appreciated as well.

cheers sub  :happy2:

savings look decent for the XB

However, I'm not blown away by the $14 saving on the RB (which happens to be the only one I'd need).....
