Wow, That is a big deal. I just got my HD seals installed today, and I feel alot better about my front axle now...It was leaking gear oil only 10K miles after the last rebuild..What will he think up next?
Thanks, Marlin!

When we received the initial order of 1,000 seals, obviously we wanted to wait a couple of weeks to ensure that they met our quality standards, which they most certainly did, and a second much larger order was placed in April for more seals. In order to get custom seals made by a major seal company, it takes up to 3 months to have the custom parts made.

The bad news is that as of yesterday we have sold out of these HD front inner axle seals, and are awaiting the next much larger order (that has already been under process) to come in, scheduled for the 3rd week in June.

Would anyone like to hear the good news?

hahahahah! yes that is very good news for you!

Looks like Mini spoiled my good news :rivers:

The Good news is that we sold 1,000 Seals in a little over 2 months!! (68 days to be exact)

That's crazy!

More Good news is that as mentioned above, from a logical standpoint, we had to wait to inspect the initial order to make sure they met our standards, and once this was determined, we immediately placed a much larger order for more. Knowing that these seals ROCK, we no longer have any reason to delay placing future orders, so we will have an endless amount of HD Seals on hand :clap: This out-of-stock-ness for these seals is the first and the last time you will see it.

That's crazy, Stuart told me that we pretty much average 14-16 seals shipped a day, and if you compute the numbers, then it averages out (including weekends) to 14.7 seals per day.


A crazy thing is that at the Tin Benders Jamboree this year, we took product down that was donated for the raffle, and of this product we included 2-pair of new HD Inner axle seals and they never got raffled off! It is my *belief* that someone just "helped themselves" to them, beings that they could simply get a 5-finger discount on 'em, which obviously SUCKS big time, but also shows how much of a DEMAND there is for these seals.

If someone is willing to steal something that is being donated for a good cause such as keeping trails open, then it must be something that they really really wanted!

No, not that great, although not far from bizarre.

Marlin was out of town until late last night from the W.E. Rock competition in WA. So this morning he came to work to find out that we had sold out of these seals (remember Marlin works in his research and development office in the back and often does not know what quantities of stock we have on hand). So after a couple of phone calls early this afternoon, he was able to get all of the seals that have already been made air shipped overnight tonight!

So now I look like an idiot for removing the ordering link from the website and by giving the bad news above, but at least we will have seals in stock tomorrow and will continue to fill orders :booya:
