  1. I still have it! PM me for my phone number if you like. Thanks, Chad
  2. As a data point, I ran a shipping estimate and it came to $67 for all 4 wheels with tires to New York.
  3. The brake lights are sold. I will take $15 for the side markers and $25 per set for the door handles.
  4. Thanks man. The transit was awesome when I was running my business out of my garage. Now that I have a warehouse with daily deliveries and pickups, it seemed like an unnecessary expense. (gotta keep overhead low right?) Anywho, the kit does flip the axle but in a different way (and superior way IMO). I was really happy with the kit. I had it on for 10k miles and 1.5 years with never a squeak. I am just too busy to try and reproduce and market it but I think it could be successfully sold in the US and the UK.
  5. Sounds great. I do have paypal. I will send you a private message. Thanks, Chad
  6. I designed and manufactured a one=off bolt-in transit connect lowering kit. I am a mechanical engineer. The kit can be uninstalled and is completely reversible and rode awesome. It includes new front coil springs and a new rear suspension system. I have the engineering drawings for all the parts so these could be reproduced. It lowers the van 3+" in the rear and over an inch in the front. It is designed to level out the ride height while still being matched to the factory dampers and allowing some usability of the van (cargo capacity). $750 for the kit. $500 more for the engineering drawings. (This kit took many many hours to design and much more money to produce)
  7. I sold my transit connect and no longer need these parts. I had a "Euro" styled transit connect with european parts, lowering kit, and custom wheels. I got constant compliments on the van. Here are some of the parts that helped with the details. 1. I have a set of European Mondeo door pulls that fit a transit connect. I have a set that is brushed aluminum and a chrome set. $30 per set. New price is $25 per set! 2. I have 2 of the European 3rd brake lights. I had a hard time finding someone that would sell me these! This fills the odd void in the rear door and gives you the euro look. Both SOLD! 3. Early transit connect amber side markers. I think these look much better than the clear lights. $20 for the pair. New price is $15 for the pair! 4. Full size transit (not transit connect) center caps. These do not fit the transit connect wheels but could be made to fit. These cost me $60. $10 for the set.
  8. I had these wheels custom made for my 2010 Transit Connect and they looked awesome! I started with 4 17"x4" Volvo spare wheels, had the centers cut out on a lathe and then had them welded to brand new 17x8" hoops. This was all professionally done by a company called Rally America in California. Then I had them professionally stripped and powdercoated and mounted some Kuhmo Ecsta 225/45/17 tires to them. I have well over $1000 into these wheels. I am asking $650obo for them with tires. I had an error in the original post. The wheels are actually ET40 What they look like now: Photo after I received them back from the wheel builder: Really high quality work here: Not the best photo of them on the van as they were dirty during this photo:
  9. I am selling my complete Ford Transit Connect Manual Transmission swap kit. Most of the major components are from a 2008-2011 Ford Focus. The mechanical and wiring is almost identical between the 2008-2011 Focus and the 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect. The Transit Connect specific parts were imported from Europe. I assembled all these parts to do a manual transmission swap in a 2010 Transit Connect. I did extensive research on the subject. These parts will all bolt right in and there is just a small wiring change required pertaining to the neutral safety switch required to make it all work. The goal of the swap was to make it more fun to drive, lower maintenance costs, and improve fuel economy. It includes: 1. Manual Transmission with all mounts and sensors 3.56 Final Drive (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 2. Manual transmission wiring harness and ECU (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 3. Shift linkage with cables (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 4. Clutch and brake pedal assembly (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 5. Jack shaft and CV shafts (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 6. Clutch and Flywheel (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 7. Clutch reservoir and hydraulic lines (from 2009 Focus w/ 60k miles) 8. Shifter surround, boot, and know (from LHD German Transit Connect, New parts) 9. Electronic copies of the wiring diagrams of both the Transit Connect, an Automatic Ford Focus, and a Manual Ford Focus. I am asking $700. This is what I paid for the transmission by itself.
