Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan

[Errol62]

Do you have an FB cowl vent cover to put on in front of the windscreen Scooter? That way it will look like a proper FB and not draw the ire of the spot weld counters. I’ve got one you are welcome to though the chrome bars are hard to come by. Sure you could fabricate some knowing you. Getting it to you could be an issue although the nats are coming up. Happy to swap for an EK one also.

Thanks for the offer Clay but I'm committed to keeping the ek one - got a few ideas for it. Think i prefer it over the FB one to be honest.

Hi Scott,

Our parts team have checked the stock here and sending you a replacement will not help. All the stock we have are the same and are what Rare Spares offer.

If these do not work for you, we welcome a return for refund. Please let me know if you'd like to do this and I can advise the next steps.

Kind Regards,

Hmmm..... decided on constructive criticism as a response


Thanks for getting back to me Michael.

Disappointing that the parts team aren’t a little more concern with quality control to be honest. This really should not be sold and is only doing your brand damage. As previous suppliers were able to make the correct items as evidenced by the old stock I have, I really think this rubbish should be taken off the shelves and returned to the manufacturer.

A response from the team thanking me for pointing this out the poor quality, that this is not up to Rares standards, and that a new manufacturer is being sourced would be more appropriate than it’s “what Rare Spares offer"

As I can’t easily source the item elsewhere I have no choice but to keep these.

Regards

Scott

Thats pretty poor on their part .. old Les would be turning in his grave if he could see some of the stuff Rares are selling these days

Hmmmm….. Demonstrates they (and others no doubt) just manufacture & sell stuff and work on the basis only 5% of customers may complain / provide feedback on poor quality.

Whilst I have never had to buy speed nuts I assumed they were readily available??

[Errol62]

I don’t think they actually manufacture anything, just source and sell.
