If that was powder coated it would just flake off. Its probably done properly and blasted first to key it up hence the cost. That or its a bodge and a rip off

Yeah its covered in millscale so would need prepping too.

I haven't seen anything about powder coating on the ads but I'm not sure which bits from him I would want powder coated before I welded them either?

You could buy the pedal set for £35 and weld and paint it yourself, or you can have him weld them, prep them and powder coat them for £25 more which doesn't seem that bad?

Upper harness mounts and Pinto engine mount plates turned up in the post on Wednesday. Just had chance to offer them up to the car.

Must admit, on arrival I was a bit skeptical, i had expected something very cleanly cut and drilled - and the engine mount plates looked quite 'handmade' - the holes for the bolts were all oval rather than round.

However - offered them up and they fit absolutely fine. And the original Ford mounts themselves have a fair degree of play in the bolt holes themselves.

So I'm happy all round with what i've received - and wouldn't hesitate to use the chap again if there were anything else I wanted.

Thas pretty much my experience. Looks like there is a bit of backlash on the machine causing slightly irregular holes, but everything mates up so all good.

i ordered 2 ru4's of this guy they took 3 days to turn up when they said they were on the shelf and to be frank they were rubbish! the things weren't even symmetrical or square and i could have cut them out more accurately by hand with the grinder

Hi Ash,

Was it the accuracy or the finish that's bothering you? They are plasma cut rather than laser cut so the finish to the edges is rougher so I could see where you're coming from on that if you were expecting more but the accuracy of the parts Ive had done was fine.

3 days for second class posting metal doesn't seem bad either?

Should point out I have no affiliation with him just interested.

Cheers
