It was not a business or money making opportunity, just something he did because he was a good guy. He was actually in anesthesiology school when this started, circa 2004. Yes, that was over 11 years ago (some of us are still around). He is certainly not active on the forum much these days, and may or may not even be an s2000 owner anymore. So you can try to PM him if you like, but do not expect an immediate response. But rest assured, he is not sitting around waiting on orders he can fulfill. It's a pretty safe bet he has a day job at this point...

Okay, people. The train is back in motion.
I had to deal with some health issues and other real life shit.
Things are worked out with the site moderators, so the thread is open again.
It will take some time for things to get caught up. Over 100 PMs, IMs and posts to answer.

I do not know what the fuss is about. I ordered a set of McGard 77796 locks off of Amazon for $16.56 and they installed in the front with no problem. They are flat topped like the ones on the first page of this post, not the angled top like shown on Amazon. They are longer than the bolts you are replacing, but there was plenty of room for them to fit. I only installed this set of 4, two in the front of each seat - I do not know if they would fit in the back holes, but they'd be a pain to tighten.

^ those lock are made for locking plastic center caps. they are made from tin. when you installed them I'm sure u noticed how light they where. so if your in an accident there is the likely hood of them snapping. not the best idea. most wont fell self with those. but yes they work and will slow down a thef if not prevent. ps I also use these
