It's really a shame the way they do business because many of their parts are fantastic. I posted a while back about the gas tank that I bought from them for my '40. The tank was too wide to be installed from the bottom, and, of course, they said few others have ever complained about it, despite the fact that they go to pretty good lengths to say that the tanks are EXACTLY like the originals. Instead of lying about this, simply say "these tanks might be too wide to be installed in your frame from underneath and will need 1/4" trimmed from the outer mounting flanges". Then expectations are clear and people would understand that the otherwise beautiful gas tanks would need 10 minutes extra work before being installed. Instead, they refuse to admit, to restorers who are used to making things work, that some minor adjustments will be needed.

It's baffling to me.
