First, my disclaimer. I personally do not know either parties involved in this dispute.
1) Most of the time when this type of post appears on this site, it only one persons side of the story. I am always suspect when I see a post like this. My life experiences have shown me that seldom is a one sided story completely accurate.
2) Whenever I see a post like this I immediately resent the smear tactics used against another person. Especially when it is disguised as "Bad Parts". In this case the real complaint is not Bad Parts. The real complaint is I did not get something for nothing!
3) The fact that Dan Price has refused to step into this one sided complaint speaks volumes. He has decided to take the high road and not waste his time trying to defend himself in a forum such as this. His reputation speaks for itself.

The fact is the parts were bad, and you can't make a valid excuse for that. He said he knew it, you can't make an excuse for that, and you can't say he didn't know, as it was put on by the first owner, and that may have been a deciding factor on why the first owner sold the car. He said he has changed foundries, why, if there is nothing wrong with the side covers??
If I had sold defective bearings to a guy for a Roles-Royce, and the car was never driven in 5 years, and the car was sold, and in a 1000 miles, by the new owner, and the bearings went, and you could clearly see it was my fault, I would fix them at no charge, or I know my Dad would come back from the Grave to Kick my.......!!
With that said, I don't know Dan, and I am sure he is the best, at the things he does, BUT that batch of Defective side plates should not have been sold, or he should have taken responsibly for selling defective parts, and made it right, or if they were saleable, with a way to fix them, he should have done that before they went out.
