Wow that is bs. If they haven’t started making them yet how can they charge you a restocking fee?

They have to put the raw metals back in the earth…

another word for deposit so they can make some side money :wink:

thats shitty… oh well, why not just use shitty/stocker wheels in the mean time?

id just continue to bitch until u get your $ back, i understand not being able to refund after they start making them but 20% when THEY change the deadline is nuts

call your bank stop payment… prosper… also they made a deadline, they didn’t make the deadline, not your issue anymore… don’t even communicate with the company anymore, find somewhere else to do business

bah. I just got an email that said my wheels won’t be ready until august wtf is this shit. And even though they haven’t even begun construction on them, it’s a 20% restocking fee if i cancel…

bad business right there. i wouldn’t take that for an answer. did they give you a reason or give you a date previously that it would be done. breach of contract.

ouch…that blows

Rubber mounts are for pussies.

ok, i welded up some motor mounts today. the pics look like crap because i took them about 2 seconds after liberally dousing them with flat black spray paint.

I basically welded them right to the frame rails of the car. There is a relatively large backing plate of 1/4" mild steel solid welded to the frame rail, then gussets made of 1/4" and 7ga mild steel holding the motor.

Compared to the stock mounts, this would probably hold a bridge.

damn. that shit is perma-solid

good work

Hands are gonna feel like you had a vibrator in them all day.

i would have welded some plate to the frame, then welded your mounts to that. I would add some more braces, to ease the strain on those points of the frame.
