I'm ready for a complete set for an RV-10. Might there be any status here? I checked with Hooker at OSH, and their pricing was kind of high as an individual buyer.

Status update
Fellow Builders,
Much has continued with efforts to get this group buy up and running. Without going into specifics, Hooker is still in discussion with retailers of their product to work how this might progress. There have been issues in the past with getting it right for everyone, (consumer, retailer and manufacturer) and Scott is keen to make sure past mistakes are not repeated.
WIll keep you updated when I know more.
Greg

Greg, any progress here, or for those of us needing something in the next month or so should we just move ahead on our own?
Thanks.
Vic

CROW
I dont have a dog in the race...but while Hooker has great products, seems they arent that interested. I have heard good things about CROW, and their prices are much better. Why not see if there are alternatives and if someone will run with it. I would think selling 20 or 50 or X sets of belts in this economy would be good for some business?

Do we have a connection at Crow?
I would be interested in getting some belts through Crow. I would spring sooner than later if someone would be interested in getting something together. I don't think Crow is a VAF vendor and wouldn't that be some kind of violation on group buys for this site?

I have bought all of my last few sets of seatbelts through Crow, and am very pleased with them. I was trying to support a group buy and the VAF site. I will take ownership to call Crow this evening and see if we can come up with anything.
Doug---- any issues with that?
Vic

Feedback by weeks end
Fellow Builders,
I should have some information by the end of this week for everyone about this Group Buy. Much Dialogue has been happening behind the scenes and I have kept Doug informed as best I can. Expect enough information by the end of this week to let everyone know further so stay posted.
Cheers, Greg
