Please post if you are interested in a group buy, need 3 minimum.

Discounts passed to VW clubs or associations: discounts apply only to the actual systems i.e. those costing £140 and up. Discounts are not offered on optional LED switches or Chafegard which are already sold at cost.
Re discounts: Discounts against single orders of 3 to 7 systems: 10%, 8 to 12 systems: 20%, 13 to 25 systems: 30%. > 25 systems: 40%
 
Which system are you thinking of and what is its cost before the discount?

Today's update on delivery/lead times

Hi David,

delivery varies day by day. The most that we can manufacture is 20 systems per day..... and we have orders for 1800 in the pipeline. However most of these are on staggered delivery arrangements e.g. 20 / month, so it's a case of fitting in at the time. Today I would allow 10 days for despath against a single order of between 1 and 20 systems, unless all 20 are the same build, which is the quickest way for us to produce.

regards

Tim Malyon

With there lead times its more likely to be Big bang , Stanford Hall etc...
 
the problem is by the time you collect everyones money, the pass onto Tim, cheque clears, his contracts especially his MOD can come in thick and fast....your better arrangeing a workable deadline, he used to work on three week lead times maybe a bit quieter at the minute....

dry powder is the one that holds things up as he doesnt stock that much of it
 
so we start at £140 (minus any discount)...then add chafeguard if you want it...then add LED if you want it......then postage....plus VAT :?

What does it come too...... :?
 
These were the extra costs from his first e-mail

As above but with dry powder instead of AFFF foam: .. £148.00 *
As above but with gasses: all gasses available. Price depends on gas specified.

OPTIONS:
Full length stainless steel Chafegard spiral protection to tube: add £18.00

Built-in SWITCH for dash LED system status display etc:
For use with Green permanently-on LED, or red-on-when-discharged LED:
Choose switch for green or red LED. Does not include wires or LED. add £20.00
