July 2020 - M66 High Strength Collar Gears

Group Buys
Group buying has been our lifeblood! It provides unparalleled pricing competition and enables new products to be sourced without massive capital costs which makes new product development possible for small businesses like PdV.

We are huge fans of group buying when its done right, so much so we've created our own separate company to host them for other small businesses like ours. In the near future our group buys will move over to www.bambooey.com but for now our group buys will be organized right here on this page. We will advertise on facebook and wherever else we can but this page will show the most up to date status of our deals no matter what.

Group buy basics:

Each Tier represents a discount level
The active Tier is based on the number of committed purchases (i.e. - the number of deposit payments made)
All participants receive the product at the active Tier discount price after the group buy concludes. If you join while in Tier 2 but the group buy ends in Tier 4, you still get the Tier 4 price/discount.
Sometimes we will allow full refunds of the deposit if the deal never gets above Tier 1
July 2020 - M66 High Strength
Collar Gears
It's been a long time and who knows when the next order will be so take advantage while you can. The now world famous, high strength M66 collar gear is back! Here are the rules...

The number of participants will be displayed at all times on this page and it will be updated within the hour of receiving each deposit.
A $65 deposit is required to take part in the group buy.
The first 14 are refundable, if we get to Tier 2 (15) no deposits will be refundable.
We're planning on ending the group buy at 9pm EST on July 24th.
We will do our best to ensure delivery promises are kept. We have been quoted anywhere between 4-5 weeks to manufacture depending on the quantity ordered. That puts delivery around the end of August.
Once the product is ready to ship you will be notified that the balance is due. So if you provide a $65 deposit and the final price is $350, then you will owe $285 before we ship your product. Plan accordingly.
You will need to source all the seals for the part swap on your own but we will provide all the part numbers and suggested places to buy them.
The final price includes shipping to the US and Canada.

A "high strength" collar gear will destroy the angle gear. I was very close to buying the last one but decided on genuine Volvo. I also looked at welding but decided against it.The angle gear splines were more damaged than the collar splines , I have proof of this. from my M58 gearbox which uses the same collar.

I think its driving style and corrosion that kills these, and be very careful about tyres.

It’s available on his website link, first post

I admire any company that uses an integral in their logo.

Cool stuff. About 15-20% leverage in the group buy at the 50 person tiers

I've also heard about corrosion. Could there be placed a seal to prevent it ?

You can use some "pink" chemical gasket and i used a fair amount of "moly" grease on mine plus the new improved collars from Volvo have a rust preventative coating.
