06/25/2025. I am currently sold out of the kit. Unfortunatley, the company that has been making these kits in the past is unable to do that any longer due to the work load they are experiencing with their main line items. I thought they would be able to supply me another batch in December/January, that was ordered May of 2024, but it did not happen.

That machine shop still has a few parts but also some missing and will make those up in order to complete some more kits. I have several customers that have paid for their kit (that was going to come out of the December batch) and as soon as those missing parts are made, those kits will be used to fill those outstanding orders. To those that have been patiently waiting, I sincerely apologize for the delay in supplying these kits.

That said, since that time I am actively setting up 2 separate machine shops to take care of the new production. One of them is currently running materail cost quotes and is ready to start making fixtures and tooling as soon as we know those costs. This shop, Damtech, I have worked with for 20+ years and he makes a lot of my current parts like triple trees, rear sets, intakes, head steadies, clutches and much more. Really great quality shop that is semi local to me and owner/operator set up. He will be making all the billet aluminum parts for the kit.

For the remainder of the parts, which are all the gears, I am still reviewing a couple of shops.

While this has certainly caused some issues since I have essentailly been without any e-start kits since December and plenty of people wanting one. I am pushing forward in order to finish these next production runs so I can once again have stock on hand to supply to anyone wanting one of these great e-start kits.

Due to materail cost increase since the last batch was made, there will most likely be a increase in the final cost on these new kits but I will do everything I can to keep that at a minimum.

Again, my apologies for this lag in availability. I was caught off guard and its taking a bit longer to set everything up than I was anticipating.

Thank You,

Matt
