I've only had the one contact with him so I really couldn't say; their
support people were helpful. I've been happy with the products from
them--steering box included--cam, pistons, valves, etc.
Side note: On one of the 'Wheeler Dealers' episodes Mike went to the
Omega piston factory (I have them in my BJ8). I expected a modern
factory; they're in what I'd call an 'Old English workshop.'

AHS has a video showing the assembly of one of their boxes.
You can <br>
clearly see 'DWM' on the top cover (sorry, don't have a link
and it's <br>
been a few years).<br>
<br>
Here's a story: I got a call from Jeremy Welch himself and
he said, in <br>
so many words "You Americans are full of it." The hard spot
isn't <br>
evident on the bench.<br>
