Reply to "Wilwood Brakes - Component #'s??"

George,

I agree with both person views, but I do have my own ... I have been loyal and besides my webers and a couple small things off ebay I have bought from only PI. As they are most helpful and I think prices are fair ... my loyalty is the service and knowledge .. yet I do check the prices.

But with the information available and prices its only fair that we research the parts and the methods of restoring or manitaining these vehicles.

Brakes well that was really the topic. Like your system, there are many with different components and for different uses. What if we buy a system from one of our vendors and its not the proper application. With out mentioning specifics, lets just say it happens.

The bushings I bought mine from PI .. why I'm a little gun shy buying parts which say that they fit multiple applications off ebay.

In closing I still feel even though we are in a site for this special interest vehicle and loyalty to the vendors is a primary concern, there is still a level of knowledge and judgement needed prior to a purchase.

I get it everyday in my business. I have customers who buy there own Plumbing fixtures, water heaters, and plumbing parts then call us to install them. ( how many of us have done that ) do you bring your own eggs and bacon to the diner and ask them to cook it and serve it for you.

Rest assure I'm probably the most loyal guy you will find. If I think the price is high from one of our vendors I will tell them and hopefully they will meet a competitiors price.
