Hang on in there Phil.

You are a really helpful bloke and someone who says what you mean.

Dont let anyone tell you different. Ive got a bit of work for you when you are ready and if you want to escape for a few beers and a bit of a chat just pop over mate.

In Phil's defence I must say that my wishbones where made and delivered in less than two weeks, the only problem I have is that the wishbone brackets I ordered a payed for where not in the package Phil emailed me and said that he had sent them to someone else by mistake, but I haven't heard from him since if you could get in touch at some stage and let me know what you are going to do about it that would be nice.
Regards Mick.

I just made the rear upper wishbone that got bent in the crash. So easy and so much fun! Give Phil a breather, people, and make your own wishbones.

I met Phil when he dropped off my chassis, and dealt with him again for my mushrooms and rack extensions - He is a decent man, who is in a difficult situation.

It may be little comfort to those waiting for parts, but I have every faith that he'll get the parts to you eventually. He really isn't the type that would set out to fleece anyone and I will be placing an order for some more bits once the pressure is off him a little.

If he stops trading and pushing ideas, it will be a loss to our community

Just my thoughts

Absolutely! Nothing like welding a part knowing that if it breaks you could spin out and end your days as a fiery ball of awsomeness! Brings a whole new level of concentration

my ten pence is that pritty much every one i have spoke to speeks of talons quality and service as good. i even know of other an ex roadster part supplier that speak highly of his work

the work of phills i have seen in the flesh is of good very good quality and is clearly form a skilled welder/metalworker and i think his prices are very fair.

i know if i needed somthing for my car in the future talon would be at the top of my list to buy from if i was not makeing it myself.

and for the record i dont own any talon products and have been very greatful of his support that he has made no money from!

he also made a very kind donation of a chassis and wishbone pack for free into the cristmas raffle charity raffle i ran without been asked

he is an asset to our commuinity

Thankyou Phill for all your help and input

No one doubt`s Phils engineering skills or that he is a nice bloke but his PR and customer service department is crap, emails and updates cost nothing. Anyway In my opinion his diff case is a no brainer and before someone gets hurt they should adopt this diff system ,mx5 build is a brilliant concept that needs a tickle here and there. this is one of those tickles.
