Pi-Thon & Polished Caps....?

Good Luck Marcus, I think the only way to deal with Pi-Thon is to deal direct
so you have what you ordered "In Hand!" And then check the quality of
what you buy. It took me over 60 days to get my caps and I'm not thrilled
with the quality. They need Sean to show them how to polish their product,
and me to run the front office so customers get what they order....

Thanks Marcus - payment sent... hopefully you can get the rad cap too! I'll send that payment as soon as you let me know.

Totally agree with you Gary. It's been a nightmare dealing with these guys. Months of phone calls, emails, and 1 fax with very little response. Going to pick these up from them directly on the 6th. Shane and Chris will be with me, we'll look at everything before we leave. When I got my caps I had the guy polish them for me and even install them on my car since I had driven all that way. He was nice and willing, which is cool, but their customer service overall sucks. Too bad there isn't an alternative.

Thanks for doing this Marcus - very much appreciated! I know what a PITA it is to put together GB and deal with getting product from manufacturer - especially when they are small shop... I feel your pain - but thank you very much.

On anther note - is there a chance the rad overflow cap will be already trimmed to fit? Or will we need to do that?

Lastly, since they are so hard to get a hold of and take so long... PLEASE don’t leave without the radiator cap!!! You can borrow my pistol if needed to let them know it’s not an option

Marcus, than you for doing this. I also have been checking with Ztoys periodically waiting to order these. I sent you the money via Paypal and look forward to receiving my caps. Thank you very much.
