and the saga continues..........
I got in contact with Glenn from Castlemaine Rods and sent him the pics that i posted on here - he got straight back to me and told me there had been a muck up and asked if i could repack and resend everything back (at their cost) so they could rectify the issues - i have to tell you guys, Castlemaine Rod Shop has been nothing but helpful all the way with this conversion and they didn't hesitate at accepting that they "@#*^ed Up".

In today's times it is bloody hard to find people who will offer service like this so i cant recommend them highly enough.

i'll keep you posted on the outcome!

castle main rod shop is no longer selling conversion kits for beddies. i just got off the phone from them. obviouslty nor drop axels.. ben

[Bedfordcrazy]

Hey ben, I was expecting this, I got a set of caliper brackets late last year for my conversion, it was about the same time the original owners sold the shop, i heard rumors that they were dropping some of their lines. Another van assistance place down the drain. For those that need a contact for brakes and the like i can post my contact here in brissy. I got all but the brackets from these guys, they did the machining for the HQ pattern on the rear. They do sell the brackets, they were just out of stock.
