i ordered some banjo style mirror arms from them several years ago with no problem, i only ordered them because they were the only ones i could find that had them ,they are my last resort for anything but one off items , because in my opion they are down right rude, this was my opion from around 1995 of them , the guys atitude on the phone definatly cost them some money from me over the years , i hope that was an isolated incedent ,but i never gave them another chance, i do the same with resteraunts ,i don't bitch ,i just go back,sorry i got carried away , i think they are two brothers and i'm sure they are as nice as can be , i'd give'em a holler and get a tracking number from them --- coocoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > See what you've done, Cool Fred?
