[TR] [6pack] J.M. Wagner Sales, Ltd

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 Dave and List,

You might be interested to know that the "helpful and responsive" proprietor is also offering a "Fan Eliminator Kit" for sale that looks surprisingly similar to the one invented, developed and marketed by list member Rick Patton.? In other words, he has stolen the design and offered it on his site for profit.? Rick is a hell of a nice guy and in my book this qualifies Mr. Downing as a rather unscrupulous businessman.? And he has been asked to stop but as of five minutes ago the part is still offered on his web site.

Just thought you and others might like to know.

Cheers,

Aaron

I tried to order a gasket for my TR3A from Justin last year (and kept trying
through this spring). We exchanged a few e-mails in the fall of 2007 at
which point he was out of stock and consumed by his work on a commercial
shoot. He expected he'd be able to attend to Triumph matters by Christmas. I
tried to reach Justin after that but never got a reply.

 

He's still around however. Justin's last post to the triumphs at autox.net list
was on August 25.

 

Being unable to source a silicone valve cover gasket through Justin, I found
two other suppliers:

 

1) Roadster Gaskets: http://roadstergaskets.com/triumph.html

 

2) Gasket Innovations:
http://www.gasketinnovations.flyingcart.com/index.php?p=home

 

I purchased a silicone valve cover gasket from Gasket Innovations. I found
the proprietor (Steve Downing) to be very helpful and responsive. I
installed the gasket just before putting the car away for the winter, so I
can't yet offer an assessment on how well it performs. 

 

NFI.
