RE: IML: Budd Rotors - Durabrake



Thanks for the heads up Leslie but I’m staying with the deal we have.  It seems reasonable and I appreciate that Scott took the time to answer questions and come up with the quote.

Leslie, where were you when all this was being broadcast across the IML? You never breathed a word of concern then.  Why wait until now, when some of us have already sent our deposits to Durabrake?  Or is this simply a smear campaign from your local Precision Brake, there in Oregon?

 

What makes you think that Durabrake will be outsourcing the production overseas?  If you do a Google search on Durabrake, you might find a 2003 letter from the Federal Transit Administration regarding the Buy America policy applicable to municipal transit buses, in which Durabrake was cited as one of four companies that was able to comply with the Buy America criteria. Here's the link: http://www.fta.dot.gov/14335_16819_ENG_HTML.htm for what it's worth.

 

Leslie, as the coordinator of this project on the IML, are you now telling us to put stop-payments on the deposits that we have already sent to Durabrake? Are you cancelling this project with Durabrake and now starting over again with Precision Brake? Is Precision Brake's quote the same: $179 each, with a minimum of 50 orders?  What comparative information can you provide us to support your advice that Durabrake is a fraud but Precision Brake is not?

 

How many of us have already sent our deposits to Durabrake? If you'll pardon the bad pun, is it already too late to put the brakes on this project? And again, Leslie, could you please give us all the information you have as to why we should put the brakes on this project now?
