ggdad1951 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 well the guy may be nice, but I e-mailed like 3 weeks ago for details and got the generic "check the website" reply and but now I've been getting e-mails every other day from them for a week! Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Posted February 7, 2013 Man.....this is really disappointing. Should be a whole lot easier for something this simple. I really thought that this was going to be much more straightforward. They make a point of showing a Chrysler focus.....and if they don't provide a fairly accurate reproduction they should say so. I am not sure why you would even bother making these if they were not pretty darn close to the originals??? Jeff Quote
52b3b Joe Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 I think he has a focus on early 30's mopars, so maybe theses are very close for them, but by no means are close for us. I had my hopes so high too, it was like Christmas morning opening up the gifts, only to find the pajamas your great aunt made you out of pink felt...ya follow.... that's how I felt. My dad was next to me when I opened the box and he just gave me a look that said it all. Darn....time to start collecting some better NOS or original used knobs....I think I smell a trip to the row of pilothouse's 2.5 hrs away in a bone yard! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 well I sent off $15 for a DODGE control cable 2+ weeks ago and haven't heard or gotten anything back from this guy yet...shoulda sent a check vs sticking in some cash I had....no idea whats going on. The guy may be a nice guy but doesn't seem to have it all together. Quote
pflaming Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 "like Christmas, . . getting pajamas made out of pink felt from Grandma. . ." I love that statement. Ya gotta love Grandma!! Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 Oh Man; When I spotted this guy's website over a year ago I thought "that's great.....I can get all new cables and knobs and everything will match and function just fine". I guess now that that was wishful thinking. Really sounds like it couldn't have been be farther off base. I should have known better......like I do now. I have managed to source all the original cables and knobs I needed.......but it would have been nice to be able to get new spares. Sorry guy's. Jeff Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 ok, to put this to rest, the cable I ordered is NOT at ALL correct for PH trucks...wrong on how it mounts tot eh cab, wrong on how the knob mounts.....no anti-spin feature Quote
52b3b Joe Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Another case of great aunts disappointing pajamas.... Sorry to hear that Mark...I know the feeling all too well.... Quote
