Thanks!

 

I received my cut-to-fit sheets, but literally haven't had time to do anything with them just yet.

 

In the meantime, I want to close the loop on this for everyone...

The kit can now be found on our website here:

This really sucks for those who already purchased and installed the original ones and purchased the tank pad.   It's great for those who didn't take the plunge already.

I can understand your frustration.  I just got my cut-to-fit sheets myself and they released this new version!

 

It's all good though.  Remember, TechSpec did offer a full refund for those not originally satisfied.

 

But this situation is not unlike getting a new computer or smartphone and then a new model gets release right after.

 

TechSpec listened to their customers and decided to evolve the product to make it better, and that's what everyone said they wanted.  I can't really fault them for that 🙂

I’ve got the newer ones and they fit fine I did do some trimming. 
I’ll post a few pics later.

Without some trimming they made little pockets that would do nothing but collect water,dirt, mud etc which I’m guessing would lead to the adhesive falling.

I did some trimming on mine during installation. They work great and have held up great so far

Sorry it took so long to reply (life) but I got the revised kit (order Oct 5, 2020) and although I could see they fit better than the initial photos, I still opted to do some trimming. That said it wasn't hard if you have a little hobby skills. Here's the result.

Whatever happened to these? Everywhere I look it's out of stock, and even Techspec's website don't have them listed anymore.

TechSpec is having trouble getting the Snakeskin material, so they took them off the site temporarily.   Hopefully they come back to stock soon 🙂
