Most of this is relevant only to potential Australian
purchasers of the DIY-WB PCB & sensor.
PCB
---
People keeping up with the list would have heard that the
Australian group purchase closed a while ago. We couldn't
produce a local PCB at as low a cost as the US group buy, so
I've decided to get the boards as part of the US group buy too.
I also decided to order a few extra boards on the basis that
more people would want PCBs after the Oz group buy closed.
Board may even be as low as AU$10 (1 off) shipped to your door.
But these excess PCBs will be sold strictly on a first come first
serve basis.
PARTS KIT
---------
I've decide to go out on a limb and offer a DIY-WB kit of parts to
all local PCB purchasers. It will be at cost + AU$20. It's still DIY,
all I'm offering is a means to save people the time they would
otherwise each individually spend sourcing these parts from a few
different places. I'm certainly not doing this as a money making
proposition as my time is more valuable than the hourly rate I'd
be notionally making, but I'm doing it to make the point that DIY
does not have to mean people are not recompensed for extra work
they offer. I can expand on my expressed attitude if anyone is not
happy with this brief explanation.
Sensor connector may be a problem unless there are a lot of junkyard
Hondas MY 93-96 with the same headlight harness connector as the US
models (thanks for the info Mark Riley).
SENSOR
------
As PCBs have not shipped yet, I have not actually finalised the
Honda/NTK sensor group purchase (which is currently at qty. 15).
All PCB purchasers have been given the opportunity to beat The
Parts Bin price of US$117.78 + freight - if we can do better, then
I'll go with that, but that looks like the best deal. I've also
reminded people that freight will be added and GST may be a factor
too. US$117.78 is about AU$225. Landed price will some tens of AU$s
higher.
ORDERS
------
Bottom line is, if you want a DIY-WB PCB, a parts kit, or a sensor
then your time is limited.
Peter.
