[s-cars] Adventures in S-car travels

[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

Hi,

Yup, it's in my hands... sorry I haven't sent out an update in a while... I've tried really hard to get Samco to cooperate and the lack of interest and customer service pushed me towards SFS to see what they can do. It's been what a month or so? waiting of Samco to respond and give me a quote (back and forth with measurements, and calling and e-mail begging for a response, it got a little ridiculous chasing them..., they finally came back and they are $20 USD more expensive than SFS per hose, although there tooling costs are slightly lower. 

I promise I will put together an e-mail this weekend with the details, based on the fact the SFS seems more responsive, and cheaper in costs I suggest we take this business to them, if I can get minimum 20 to remain on the list then it's a go. I will base costs on getting 20 confirmed. If everyone wants Samco, then costs will be higher, and probably the wait... but you all know that! 

Stay tuned !

Cheers, /James.

I believe that GP is in the rather capable hands of James Murray...

On that note, Paul K, how goes the Samco turbo to MAF hose project?
