Looking for front frame extension - crumple tubes

[Tomcio]

I need the front frame extension or crumple tubes. Good condition only, new or used.

If you have one, please let me know the price with shipping cost to Warsaw, Poland.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I saw someone making some on eBay. I'll try and find the link and post back.

Actually that's a repair kit. If you need a new one I have two in stock but after that they are currently not available.

Thanks for the link but that is just a repair kit. I need a complete unit.
Besides, even though the seller ships to the UE he specifically marked that he does not ship to Poland. That's strange because Poland is one of the largest EU countries. His loss...

I'll be calling you Rob. Thanks!

Best of luck!

Ken Koncelik had a bunch of these made. They were made 2 gauge sizes larger than stock. I installed one in 2011 and it fit perfectly. I know it says out of stock but I'd still try to contact him. I could have sworn he still had some last time I was at his warehouse.

If in the near future no one wants my complete frame for sale, I'll cut this section off for you...

Dan,

How "near"? See, the problem is that I really have to get going with all my stuff. I'm not too excited because of my poor health but I have to. So, I need to know what near is near ;).

I just looked at your pictures and it seems that your frame is pretty rusted but the crumple tubes look ok (yes, I read your description). I would be interested if you can cut it as close to the front cross member as possible.
I only have some surface rust on my frame but the crumple tubes were damaged in an accident - PO hit something low to the ground, a high curb perhaps. So, there is no rust but the tubes are so mangled that I have to replace them.
Have you thought about the price?

BTW, I noticed that you're in Pinellas County. I've spent 12 years in Largo and Clearwater.

I am sorry to hear about poor health, I hope you are able to get well soon.

The frame is pretty much rust from the front back, and I am going to post more pictures of the whole thing soon so if you want to see more of the front zone, it will be posted there. I was going to give another week or 2, it isn't easy to come up with shipping/logistics and all that at a fast pace, but I do have a few people interested. However I also want this thing gone out of my back yard so that is why I don't want to sit on this forever and am willing to cut it up. I haven't thought about price yet, I will check DMCH to see if they even offer these and just go by half.

Too bad you still weren't in Largo/Clearwater you could just come pick the front portion up :) Beautiful area for sure.

Thanks,
Dan B.

Thanks Dan. I really hope those doctors are as good as they say they are...

The crumple tubes are available from the major vendors.
DMCH lists it as: FRONT FRAME EXTENSION - 105829 - Price: $1,375.00

I can get one, a new one for $1200. I was told it's an original one from the factory but it is beefier and stronger than the ones that were installed on the frames.
I would appreciate some close ups of the front. Especially some inside views. I'd like to see how bad the rust is especially around steering rack mounts and at the bottom where the recall kit plates go. Thanks.
As for shipping, there is a place in St. Pete that ships packages directly to Poland. If we decide to go through with it I'll let you know where that place it. It's somewhere on 49th St., south of Park Blvd. Since they ship directly to Poland their prices are a lot lower than UPS, FedEx or anybody else.

Yeah, it would be great if I was still in CLW, it would be a done deal. I used to live near Best Buy on the corner of US19 and Drew St. You're right, it is a beautiful area. The one thing I didn't like was the heat and humidity. It was a bit much for me but I over did it by going to Poland. This place is too cold ;) It's suppose to snow tonight. Maybe I'll move to Italy one day... oh wait, I don't speak Italian... damn. ;)
