Made it right, isn't made past tense, like you have made all deals right.

Are you 100% caught up on all your past deals?

Just a few things and then the horse is here.Plasma can cut perfect shapes when set right. I used to have production parts done all the time from a vendor that used a Plasma. His first set looked like rubbish. He changed some settings and all corners were sharp, all holes were perfectly round with no visible penetration spot. You had a great post accepting responsibly for some items. Then flip the switch and back to the rest of the posts.I'm sorry but I find it highly unlikely that everyone is out to get you and all these people are liars. Just goes back to woe is me that was around in the last round of this.Some long waiting customers are on a list but others get parts right away. Again pointless to argue because some long dissertation will be written avoiding the pointSince this has become an advert thread for redirecting etc. Here are some other places that do custom partsSteve at Cando http://www.candospecialties.com/Michigan Metalworks. Still growing havent heard any of the horror stories yet.Max @ BioKustomshttp://www.biokustoms.com/ I have never ever heard something bad out of Max's shop.

This situation has become exactly as someone sent me a message'40 people you fucked came back with positive aids tests. I understand you say you're clean, so I think you people need to get tested again, before you spead all these false stories'

Good luck on your current attempt. Catch you in the next thread. It would greatly help you to stick with one name. Work name or otherwise.DHPmikedhpronstumbledintoddgoesfastchrisplaysnicefabricationnation

yes plasma cuts very nice when its set correctly and the tip, cup and electrode are all new.

I never said everyone is lying. I said that back when just about everyone was, back on the other BYC thread. this is about balljoint cups and balljoint plates and threaded studs. all of which were small issues Ive solved. nothing else brought up that I havent adresses multiple times. This thread is no about BYC orders. thats been discussed and covered. Ive had a BYC customer page on my site since January of 2008 for anyone to contact me. BYC customers have been getting their parts, they have posted in here and I have shipping documents to prove it. have they all? I doubt it. but some want other items, etc. I have been shipping BYC orders about once every 2 months average. so the BYC thing is done, over, no reason to hash it out further in here. the process is set up and nothing else can be done to help it along. the system of making all the old BYC orders has been working well and does not need anything tweaked.

the only issues in this thread should have been the balljoint cups and plates and the threaded ends. all of which I have addressed many times. I havent avoided anything by anyone. another accusation out of the blue just like the old days.

so why are we still arguing it? I said Ive addressed the balljoint cups issue by making them now out of one piece...

the plasma cut plates I now drill the holes so thats solved and the threaded ends, I make them now with a stud..

for the tenth time, all these issues have been solved. so this thread is a dead horse and has been.

any of you that are BYC od DHP customers and have any issues, you can contact me thru several different ways, all of which are on the contacts page of my website.

I just dont get what all these useless posts are for?? wtf??

you guys dont seem to understand all this was solved and its an ongoing process.

if your not a DHP or BYC customer you shouldnt be posting in here anyway. how many of you are??????

no, but I have been in contact with everyone and have a resolution either done or being done. Not one single person has not been contacted or not replied to when contacting me. as stated above Ive had the BYC page on my site since January of 2008...

I just shipped 2 sets of Toyota uppers in the last 2 weeks. I still owe these guys lowers. Theres at least 2 more customers that I know of. I have a list and there are 2 names left. Id say thats pretty good. Id guess the percentage is 90% of the orders from BY have been filled. thats pretty good.

remember this is a one man operation except for saturdays when I have a helper...

That balljoint posted earlier, with the strategically placed "grooves" , is that a one piece or two piece cup?

I think his problem was with the poor machining quality on the cup, rather than it being two pieces.

Pretty much what I was refering to in my post earilier!

Mike, can you prove that these grooves help the balljoints cups? I would think that by grooving the inside where the balljoint seats on the cup that you are reducing surface area for the press fit. I use S-10 press-in lower balljoints in my Mazda lower tube arms and also in my S-10 lower tube arms and have never had a balljoint come loose or fallout.

--------------------------------------------

Certainly sounds good. I hope its true, I do. I think generally your a good guy Mike. My sole purpose as ive said for letting this thread go is for you to complete some orders, and some customers to have a mature way to deal back and fourth with you. So far neither side is handling this as well as I think it could be. Facts are facts, neither side seems to be posting much real raw data showing who is in the wrong. This makes sorting through this a lot of trouble for those trying to figure out who is the bullshiter. I think you'd agree.

The thing that bothers me is that I know no way all the people are lying, so I feel like even when you say your 2 people away form being "completely current" I just dont know if I can fully believe that.

But I also dont believe for a second that there are as many people lacking stuff that say they are.

I know the truth lives somewhere in the middle. Im not trying to insult you or your customers. I am a realist, and I think thats real.

Im with you on this one. Press fit relies on surface area and not friction. The more surface contact the better the fit. Not to mention that its not going to come apart anyways. Your ball joint is bolted to the spindle and fed through the control arm that has a bag and a ton of weight pressing it down. For your balljoint to fall out it would need to pull straight through, past the shoulder on the cup and bj.

--------------------------------------------

Exactly. To be honest, they cant come loose. The force on the lower control arms is allways pulling the balljoint through the control arm, the lip on the ball joint is not going to let it loosen up, if they are machined with a smooth surface to a precise diamiater.

That balljoint cup looks like it was passed through WAY to fast, with a dull cutter, and just used. Ive never heard of or seen anyone give any instance or proof to a grooved balljoint cup being a better or even acceptable surface finish.
