wtf looks like rusty junk to me. be sure to post up his response.

 

[CamaroSS]

is that a custom rust color powercoating

 

[Ron Vogel]

the inner shields are so rusted that chunks of them were stuck to the rubber.

all the rubber is deformed and loose too. I think there are parts missing too. Think I'm going to skip replacing them, and just make them solid.

wow....

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

looks new to me, theres still some black left lol

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

he hasnt responded back at all? i've gotten some great stuff from him before... surprising!

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

kind of surprising for Ed, im sure he will replace them. maybe quality control has dropped a smidge since he has become so big.

I didn't get home until 9 tonight from work, so I just sent it over. Will probably get a respose back fairly quick. I thought i was getting the reatainers and all, but nada. Looks like the fronts are press-fits, you can't just put in used ones. they probably have to be presed in too. I may just put a big bad heavy metal washer top and bottom...weld them to the frame and be done with it.

we had a bad hub from eric at morad
eric got two LCA's and bearings for the Riv, one bearing was damn near new (clean machined steel) the other looked like it came off a 125k 97 (rusty as hell) with a tight spot upon turning it (said it musta been damaged in shipping lol)
ed's making it right though, no big deal... LCA's were perfect.

to bad my lathes not running yet you could turn some solid alum bushings lol let me know if you need some sheared plate steel if your not caring about weight lol

Yeah, Ed got back to me...sending new ones out.
"Hey Ron, its Ed, I will get to the bottom of this today and have them get another set out. That shit is disgusting. Not sure WTF is going on here, but I am pissed you got something like that. A new set will ship today. Sorry bud. Erik will be getting an earful I can promise you. :/"

I actually got these to look into doing aluminum. Just wanted to replace what's there for now, and use my stockers for a model to copy in aluminum.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i've got most of a 6 ft stick of 3/4x6 inch alum plate....

 

[Fish]

Glad he is making it better. Ive never heard of Ed letting someone down like that.

 

[Euro]

Damn! Glad he's taking care of it. I haven't heard a bad thing about Ed

 

[K0R3AN]

well, at least its getting sorted out. i had a problem with some body parts that came shitty, and the sent out a whole new sent AND refunded 30% of my money!

 

[Sinister Drag Designs]

very true, but i just read on 3800pro about a guy getting a set of fans from Ed that were cracked and useless. Ed needs to hire some new help i think, not a good thing if quite a few parts are being sent out broken or not the condtion they are said to be in.

Stuff like this will not sit well with people that have never had great previous experience with Ed.
