Fan Clutch Removal Tool Set

I know I will get flamed for this post probably, but not all of us e28 owners have $$ falling out the trunk of our e28s if you catch my drift
Hey, that's true. I understand if you don't want or can't afford a set... no big deal. I am not making any real money on these. I spend quite a bit of time and money making these.. hmm, since I charge about $120 an hour for my machine time, and $100 an hour for design time.. Not to mention Steel costs, and paint/coating costs.. abrasives, and shop supplies.. the truth is, I am actually breaking even, or even LOSING money on these...
Still, no big deal. I like doing it, and everyone that has purchased a set seems to be quite pleased with them.. so, it's all cool. We are entitled to our opinions. Just the statement that $35 is expensive makes me giggle.. I can't remember the last time $35 bucks is all ANYTHING cost me for one of my Bimmers.... haha....
Mine were waiting when I returned from vacation, so something <9 days by USPS to Canada. Fantastic!
Cool tool and easy to use - loosened and tightened fan just for giggles. The length gives great leverage.
Thanks for doing this for everyone! I hope you are at least breaking even. Put me on the list for any other specialized tools you design.

Hey guys,
sorry for those that wanted tools when I was out of stock, and out of town.
I am back, and have 4 sets ready to ship (not counting the set that is paid for)
I have had SO many inquiries that I have to ship first to those that pay first, as I can't keep all the emails, and PM's straight..
SO...
$35 for a set, shipping is $7.00 if within 2 states of Ohio
$9.00 for everywhere else except Pacific Northwest, and Cali. Those two areas are $11.00 (I was losing money on shipping)
First paid at PayPal stanfordmotorsports@fuse.net will ship first, if I get more paid orders than I have sets ready, I will go buy MORE steel and have them ready to ship on Friday!
Yes, I am breaking even, making a little if I don't count my full time invested, but hey, BMW owners have always looked out for each other!
I am working on a cam locking tool set for the M50 engine..
also have a couple of other ideas I am working on..
Hey, I make artwork too... check out my site stanfordmetal.com
I MIGHT be persueded to do some BMW wall hangings... or something along those lines... wink wink...

Once again, thanks for the payments, everyone that has sent money has been shipped.
I have two sets ready to go. first come first served.
There MAY be a small break before I cut again, I am getting behind with my normal work... haha..
Ya want'em.. EMAIL ME, or Just do the PayPal thing as outlined above... if for some reason I get more orders than I have sets left, I will cut some more right away... THEN take a break.. ha.

You've got a good point. For anyone who doesn't already have the tools for the fan clutch removal, this would make a nice set. Good luck to youquaddawg wrote:Just the statement that $35 is expensive makes me giggle.. I can't remember the last time $35 bucks is all ANYTHING cost me for one of my Bimmers.... haha....

Marshall, yours are packed and ready to ship, and yes, the handles are coated. Your emails from the Shiprightsolutions account are bouncing back to me... I guess that is the email you have registered with PayPal... something is wrong with it and they are coming back.. no biggie, just thought you would like to know.dubcraftee wrote:Payment sent your way! Can't believe this hasn't been available before!

Hey folks. ONE set left from this batch... first paid, first served.
I will probably pick up some more steel tomorrow however, as the demand seems to still be there.
Thanks to everyone, what I am not making on individual pieces kinda made up by the sheer volume you guys are buying these in, I think I have shipped over 20 sets so far!
Some theives broke into my shop while I was away on business
They stole a lot of tools, including the Plasma Cutter that runs my CNC table....
It will take me a week or two to purchase and install new equipment.. I didn't have insurance on that machine.
Please do not send any more money. I will not be able to fill orders for a week or more.
I do have enough stock to cover all outstanding orders... just one and a replacement, but... I do have those.
Thanks, I will keep you updated
