I will be ordering extra bearings from one of the places in Cape Town. What size are your bearings? I have not measured them as yet. I will wait to see the new bearings from Jacklin. If that don't work, then I will measure up the housings and source a set of bearings with the correct dimensions.

I am up to issue 26 and the wait continues. There was some issue with the debit order and they will only send the next lot after that has been sorted. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

So I received issue 18 - 21 at least and my fuel bottle. Now hoping that they will send me 22 - 25 and my tx now, and not at the end of the month...

Do you guys also use jacklin enterprize for the subscription? I have had numerous complaints about them, and they never seem to get anything correct. I'f been waiting over a month for my January subscription. Can't we order it directly from modelspace ZA? From South Africa

Yes we have to use jacklin unfortunately. The problem is they send everything with normal post, which seems to be the main issue around receiving the books.

As f1fanatic says, it seems to be the post office that causes the delay. I have been waiting nearly 6 weeks for some hydroplane parts from the USA. My problem with Jacklin seems to be sorted. Hold thumbs. It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

So I read in the news yesterday that a new post office strike will be coming sometime, and it will make the previous one 'look like a picnic'. Best think we speak to Jacklin to use couriers instead..

I also read about the strike in yesterdays and todays paper  I will contact them later. Maybe you and I can have the parts couriered and share the costs? It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Received issues 27 to 30 today  I spoke to Jacklin this morning and they informed that if the postal strike does go ahead they will send the issues via courier  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

Strike or no strike my issue 15-18 got lost in the post and had to be sent by courier. Jacklin should always use courier service, I do think its a win/win situation for both the client and the company. How many parcels get lost in the post and then they need to replace it. I'm one month behind so issue 19-22,issue 27-30 fuel bottle and remote control is being send today. Issue 23-26 was already sent, still waiting for delivery, PLEASE dont loose it Mr. Post man!!

Hi Jors, I was thinking the same idea, since I have all the gifts now, to cancel my subscription and get them at the news agents rather, since its such a mission with Jacklin..

So this morning I'm reading again about the postal strike starting on a 'go slow' again  Our post office does not even want to send parcels away because of this next wave of strikes. So looks like its back to square one. Will ask Jacklin if they can courier my next batch..
