Regarding sheet metal, the cars were hand built. I’m sure others will bring up other examples. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.Īs Wiggles points out, the Rolon chain tensioners are known junk. I like to establish a relationship with a supplier and stick with them. I think SNG is pretty good at weeding out the ones that don’t give a damn. If they are having a bad day or worse a bad month, or just don’t give a damn, the damage is done. For some parts, there may only be one fabricator of them. Unfortunately, in the world of auto parts, we are small fish in a small pond.
And SNG has made those few situations good without any squacks or pushback.
I would estimate my rate of defective parts as less than 1%. Before eveyone piles on with their defective parts stories, I would like to say that I have purchased tens of thousands of dollars of parts, mainly from SNG Barratt.
