Yeah, Cheers Wonky!
I think that the demand for these will be pretty constant.

shit yeah! i'm after one of these as well if possible.

[Wonky]

Had a PM today from gaz05. He says he's been inundated with PMs and he will post when the pans are all done. In the meantime I have a dozen Caddy filters ordered from the US and they should be leaving there soon (I hope!).

[Wonky]

Unfortunately due to a miscommunication with the company I was dealing with for the filters (they were apparently still waiting for the go ahead from me after I paid for the filters ) I've gone back to getting them (I hope) through the original guy I was going to get them from as he should now be back from his holidays. The second company were worrying me with their potential freight quotes which to me were waaaaaay over the top!!

[Wonky]

Faaaaaark!! Talk about frustrating........... The forum member over there who said at the end of last year he was happy to get a dozen filters for us and send them over is having life issues and wasn't responding to me after the other place stuffed up. He finally responded after I told him I'd now ordered from yet another place. Bottom line is they are now ordered and after numerous emails with them I'm confident they'll do the right thing. Freight price can't be determined exactly until they have all 12 filters there but they've given me estimates which are much more reasonable than the other company was talking about. By the time they get 12 into stock and then send them it may be a fortnight or so before I have them but apparently (so I was told) gaz05 is on holiday anyway.

I expect they'll be slightly cheaper than we can go into a Holden dealer and buy a standard filter, even with freight.

[Dieselman]

Give me a yell when you get a price sorted out Wonky

[Wonky]

No problem Ben - one is definitely earmarked for you. In fact given I only had 10 Caddy pans altogether including the first one I got for myself and the new part number one I got from the USA to check it was still identical and which you bought there is one for every pan gaz has plus two spares, one of which I'll keep for myself. Even in future if people need to order one from the states they can be landed here for cheaper or not much more than going in and buying a normal SS/SSV A6 filter from a Holden dealer and given the number of cars using the Caddy filter over there they'll be available forever almost.

[Wonky]

Finally .............. The 12 Caddy filters should be on their way very shortly as freight just paid for (filters themselves were paid for a while ago). I need to find out from gaz05 whether any modifications are required to the actual filter or not. I doubt there are and if so will just sell them direct to individuals who want them. However, if modifications to them are required I should probably sell them direct to gaz to do his thing with and determine a final price based on his labour and materials.

[Wonky]

Message for gaz05 - do the Caddy filters themselves need to be modified or not or is any modification required just a case of making an extension of some sort as you had to do with your double depth pan? Reason I need to know is I anticipate the 12 Caddy filters arriving next week and need to know whether they have to be sent to you for modification or whether I can just sell them individually.

[Wonky]

gaz05 has informed me that no modifications are required to the Caddy filter, so I'll just sell them directly to those who have the Caddy pans.

List price on the standard Commodore A6 filter (part #24252158) is $69 + GST = $75.50. The Caddy filters will be $60 + postage + box for those who require them posted. I'm not sure what postage + box will be so will say $15 for the first few until I get a better idea, then may reduce it if required. Even with postage it's still cheaper than walking into your local dealer and getting one. Please don't PM me for payment details unless you know you have a Caddy pan coming from gaz as even though I have a spare or two I'd hate to have to go through all that again.

Well, i'll grab one if I am one of the lucky people getting one of the pans - so guess we'll wait and see

[ORRBI]

Just for anyone one intersted in a caddy pan, I've order one with trans filter and gasket from w w w . o e h q . c o m
Cost $169 dollars US frieghted to my door. I only ordered it last night and those parts have to be ordered in which they say
3 to 5 days. So hopefully i'll get them in around 3 weeks times.
Part numbers are
ACD24250062 caddy pan
ACD24236931 tranny filter
ACD24224781 caddy pan gasket.

I'll let you guys know when they turn up and if the company was good to deal with.

Not sure but is that the same tranny filter part number that wonky used?

[Wonky]

Yep, 24236931 is the filter I got too.

[Wonky]

Well, it seems to have taken forever but according to online tracking our Caddy filters (which arrived at the Chicago sort facility on Feb 17 Aus time) finally arrived at the Australian sort facility (hopefully Melbourne???) on Wed arvo, so will hopefully be delivered today or Monday at the latest. Hopefully gaz05 can let us know who has the Caddy pans so I can start selling these to recoup some money I've outlaid.

[Wonky]

Now have 12 Caddy filters.

Keep us posted mate on how you go. I just checked there website out, and the reviews i've read all seem very good. I don't think you'll have any dramas. I'm keen on this mod also, so i'll check back and see how you went with your purchase.

Cheers
