Hey All,
It seems to me the one constant complaint in this whole conversation
has
been with TRF's backorder.
Yes, I like that they are knowledgeable.
Yes, I use their tech line for help and it is great.
Yes it is nice to get parts for this car. (My father owned a TR6, and
when I showed him the new Head TRF had delivered he was amazed someone
was doing that , and at the cost)
Yes, the part quality is always good.
Yes, when it comes to these things TRF is top rate.
My one gripe was with the back order. I placed the order on Feb 10.
The following items
are still to be delivered:
1) 7 conrod bolts (ordered 12 got 5)
2) 12 conrod dowels.
3) 2 emergency brack cables
4) 2 trailing arm cross members for the frames.
5) 1 lower and gasket set.
It is item #4 that has me the most worried. When I placed the order I
was told it would be backordered, and would take 2-4 weeks before they
had a delivery. At the end of April I gave a call and was told their
suppliers workers were on strike, and they were waiting for a delivery
from another supplier.
Now if I was trying to do this work now I would be searching for
another
supplier for the part, but since I am not going to start until Sept. I
will give them time.
Also I need items 1,2, & 5 to do the engine rebuild I require. I won't
start this until I have these parts. Since I got a partial delivery on
item 1 I can't imagine what is taking so long for that, as well as item
5!
Like I said, at this point I am willing to wait. I do like these guys,
but this winter, when I am in the middle of work and I need a part now or
all work must stop then I will place my orders with other venders.
