Isnt this a bit much for steel rings?

Post by Atreyu »

I dont know much about fto dial kits and stuff, im pretty new to this all.. but i think that the (Approximately US $52.93) for dial rings is a bit much dont you think?? that would make it almost $100 AUD for some steel rings.. they are like really expensive egg rings..( egg rings RRP $2.00 AUD)

Dont get me wrong they look nice but yeh.. i think its a bit much..
If you have purchased a set of these dial rings, please let me know how much you bought them for, and from where?

:D

60$ from type-f. they r expensive but i think hes the only one who makes them now. unless u wanna fit em egg rings :twisted: seriously though look for his auctions on ebay uk, can sometimes get it close to half price like i did or for anyone selling their used ones there. interior parts from the uk go for some silly money though

Buy Them

Seems to me that if you want them that much, fork out the cash....

I did this for the stainless steel surround.

Keep an eye on Ebay though. About every couple of weeks a set goes up there and will likely be a bit cheaper.

    Hi all,

    I'm shakey j from the UK owners club, If you are interested in Needle Cups I make them and could supply enough for a group buy.
    Take a look at this thread from the UK site http://www.ftooc.org/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... c&start=20

    I'm not sure who to talk to about this but if somebody points me in the right direction (Don't say down :lol: ) I could send some samples over. Also if there's enough interest I will reduce the price.

    Happy New Year All!
