I sent you both emails and PM's. Here is the update publicaly:
the feed line is a braided stainless line with AN fittings on them. you cant simply cut them and put a T in them. He just has to get a 1/8" NPT street T and screw it into the fitting provided for the oil pressure, then he has to drill and tap a hole in the pan for the oil temp.

not to sound negative but as far as i have seen has there been a single kit thats been ordered and delivered when it was said it was going to be? Might i suggest that those at SF not give a deliver date if they cant meet it. I understand all the unforseen things that can come up but then again they should have backup suppliers/vendors to overcome these delays i would hope. I know its a hard thing to place a time for deliver on an item and then have a vendor drop the ball on ya and you have to explain to your customer. End customers need to be more understanding , and the manufacture needs to also be accountable too. I know what its like to be on both ends of this the manufacture and then customer. NEITHER is fun sometimes but communication is the key! I hope everything gets resolved and all is happy, customers and manufacture. Cause if both arent happy neither one will get what they want in the end!

Rep Power: 288 We have a backup for our u-bends, header materials, flanges, turbos, intercooler cores, aluminum sheets, fuel pumps, and all other misc parts. But we do not have a backup powdercoater. We would have to drive 90 miles to get the pipes done. And it would take at least 1 week and cost 3x as much. It is not cost effective for us or for you to run to another powdercoater.
Im sorry for the delay, but we are doing everything in our power to get them out. You guys will not regret purchasing this kit.

At this point after all of the complaints with timing have come to light, if you order an SF kit thinking that you will get it on time, you are sadly mistaken. SF has no clue how many kits they are going to sell at any given time. They make kits for many different applications and custom fabrication does not happen overnight. If you really want their kit you are just going to have to be patient like the rest of us were until we received the "complete" kit. This is not just SF this is any fabricator. Take a look at lovefab.com for example. They fabricate SICK custom manifolds and have a wait time of like 6 weeks. Maybe SF could do something like lovefab has done and let people know that they are backed up X amount of weeks????

I guess it is normal to wait for custom work. Just like waiting on DH for a febricated spacer to get a new custom product to fit. ?
