Not likely. It took 3 weeks just to get the ten orders. People ask for group buys and then when they happen, they always struggle to get enough orders.

MY LID IS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE TODAY!

Now I have to measure the outer diameter of my 90 mm FAST TB and the outer diameter of the 104 mm lid and hit Home Depot for a plumbing tube to connect them

Mine just came in today! I also ordered a 100mm tsp maf tho and it came with a 4" coupler that is very tight on the maf (maf OD is 104mm) which is smaller than the OD on the Lid (108mm).

Thanks for posting that! Now all I have to measure is my TB OD.

DAMNIT! My lid didn't come today! Now it says delivery tomorrow!

My lid showed up on Thursday, woo-hoo!

Hey Fast Toys, the OD of my 100mm MAF is smaller than the ID of the new lid (by just a couple mm's). What do you all do to get it to fit? I was gonna use some electrical tape around my MAF, but I'm hoping for a less "rigged" solution.

Also, these lids feel so flimsy that I don't really want to clamp down too hard on the band clamp that came with it.

Solutions?

If you can Mike find a small 4 inch coupler, maybe 3 inches long. Stretch it over the lid and MAF and it will be a tight seal. Had to do that with a 3 inch coupler on my lid

The lid was sized for the TSP 100mm MAF. Other MAF's like the LPE version are a few mm's smaller. For those MAFS, you can wrapt a few layers of electrical tape around the MAF or go to home depot and get the thinnest adhesive backed foam weather stripping and wrap a layer of that around the MAF.

To check your seal, put a little disk washing soap in some water and spread it with your fingers around the neck of the lid near the MAF connection. Blow some air through the lid (fan or air compressor nozzle) and see if you see any bubbles or air movement. If you have none, you have a good seal.

Can you tell me where to get a bellows tube to connect the lid to my 90mm TB?

I have a 3-4" coupler on my current set-up but that won't fit on the 104 lid obviously

So I would need a 4 3/8" to 4" coupler

Where the heck do I get that???

Can 4" fit over the lid without damaging it?

Got mine the other day. Has two small gouges inside, but other than that it looks good.

Mine only had 1. Oh well.

But I'm not so sure about testing the MAF's seal while blowing soapy water at it.

I'll figure some else out.

I would have gladly got in on it but when I asked for dimensions from you over a month ago you told me you would get back to me "in a couple weeks" after you had some in stock - and that never happened.

It's not ALWAYS the cutomers reason they don't spend the money.

Sorry if someone did not get back to you. We were very busy shipping orders for the group buy. We sold out the batch of lids and are making more.

DAAAMMMN! I guess I need to look in this section as well. I live on the classified forum. I would have jumped on the deal for the lid.

Just sucks that my email specifically said I wanted to get on the group buy and I got dicked out of it waiting for an email that I never got even after I tried to follow up.

Especially seeing ya complaining that there weren't enough buyers....
