Group buy on oil filter from Raby?

Any buddy consider putting together a group buy for the oil filter adapter from Jake? I am considering one and I am sure others on this list may be as interested. Perhaps someone with experience doing this could come forward?

No animals were hurt with this post and no and I don't believe I bored anyone with it so, Party ON!!!

Lil'-B, go to: www.lnengineering.com and go to products, then performance. There is an explanation of the Billet Oil Filter adapter and what it is supposed to do.The LN site is different than the Jake Raby Flat Six Innovation site but they work closely together. Jake has the filter adapter for $115 whereas LN has it for $119, both are introductory prices. Hope the explanation covers your questions.

I'd be happy to entertain a group buy of the units..

BUT this is not a component that we have much proft in at all, so don't expect any big price breaks over the intro price we have posted, even if a group of 20 people bought them at once.

Thanks for the interest!

It dosen't look like a high margin product! Either way, we're interested and may be purchaseing one for the next oil change. BTW, what Mobil 1 filter dose your unit take?

OK... so it 'piggybacks' onto the existing cartridge receiver? If so, I'm definitely in... just let me know where/when!

The LN site lists the acceptable filters.

i'm in.

just a suggestion...maybe we should keep a running list of those interested...every following person interested copies the previous list and adds their name the list in their post so it's easy to see the total of people like I've seen in prior group buy threads

I've taken the liberty of making an initial list in order of those that have voiced positive interest in a group buy, so forgive me if your name shouldn't be on it.

1. Allen K. Littlefield
2. 941MXVET
3. Lil bastard
4. SRQ Boxster
5. idheaton

I'd be even more interested in a group buy on the IMS upgrade kit.
