Re: IML: Budd Rotors

["Haze Green Wonder" <imperial1967@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shaun and All,

As usual the messenger has been shot.  I appointed myself twice now to 
compile a list of people who were interested in trying to get a rotor made. 
Neither time have I researched the company or gone about getting quotes. 
However each time, I have received numerous queries wanting to know, where 
they'd be made(all kinds of concerns about them being outsourced), who we 
could sue when they failed, and how we could protect ourselves from getting 
screwed.  I got a call from a concerned IML'er this past weekend who pointed 
out links to inconsistencies with Durabrake on the web, and I wanting time 
to research it further, spent an hour this morning, going through everyone 
who had emailed me so I could give them a heads up privately rather than 
insulting a potential vendor on the list publicly.  Obviously I shouldn't 
have wasted the time sending it privately as Dick Woodside so clearly 
pointed out by posting it publicly less than 5 minutes after I sent it out. 
And sheesh I am sorry I pointed any of this out, but I felt some 
responsibility as I had compiled the list of people willing to get shafted 
by purchasing rotors.

Meanwhile I was unsure as there have been numerous stories on the IML about 
your only protection when dealing with an unknown vendor is to use a credit 
card....  Well Shaun never posted that  we could pay him with PayPal, but 
alert member Harvey, did email us all back this morning and let us know 
about the PayPal Option with an additional fee.

Anyway, Shaun I'm sorry to drag you into this publicly, but you seem to be 
very forthcoming and I'm sure you've made everyone feel quite comfortable 
with doing business with Durabrake.  I certainly appreciate your willingness 
to wade through the IML email for the past month.

Meanwhile, I'd like to tell everyone I have no association with Durabrake or 
Precision Brakes, if you choose to do business with any of the above 
companies.  Neither company has badmouthed the other, all information 
mentioned has come from members of the list.  I vowed several years ago, 
never to do anything with the IML again, and I regret getting involved this 
time.  The IML has turned into a bunch of loud mouthed blowhards and whiney 
non-doers.  Only reason I'm still lurking is there are a still a couple of 
members who are jewels of information and kindness who haven't been run off.


Going back to lurk now.

Leslie
