That stitching is not original in my estimation.


always had great luck with part purchases from fellow members,,,,, except a guy screen named tom1342racing or something along that line. bought a "cleaned and tested" on engine oil cooler and some engine tin that did not have heater tube holes for my racecar build. the tin had a bit of rusting on it shown in the pictures, but what showed up had a ton more like he swapped out some of the photographed pieces for some other parts.

Think I'm still salty over this? wait there's more. I'd have not posted this today had it only been the tin pieces. The cooler referenced above since it was going on a fresh motor I did not trust his cleaning efforts and sent it off to pacific coolers for cleaning and testing. they promptly red tagged it for an unrepairable leak. I already had one with an unrepairable leak so I surely did not need a second. He did cover the shipping back, but would not pay for the testing of the failed unit which was sent back to him. Wanted my money back and he would not budge on that insisting he send me another one of his "cleaned & tested" coolers. Guess what? the second one had a leak too but Pac Coolers was able to access the failed location and repaired it. Hit ol Tom up for the cost for the repair of the second cooler and he told me to pound sand. I was pissed to say the least.

I at the time, 2010-ish was very active in the classified selling and buying so at every opportunity I would PM people when he responded to a WTB add and send them the story ive shared here. even kept a gmail draft of it and simply copy and past it to the PM headed to what could be another unsuspecting buyer. Slammed him in the feedback thread and he did not reply once. At 1st when my salt was at it's saltiest I would go to his profile to see WTB threads he responded to and send off my copy and paste PM. F tom1342racer. i don't stalk him any longer spreading the dope on him, but I might next time I bored and the cable is out due to being reinvigorated with saltiness again today...
