Default Thank you VBP!

I am just now posting a thank-you to the good folks at Vette Brake Products, had a good transaction with them. I bought 4 new o-ring calipers on the last group purchase, painted 'em up, and slipped on ice while carrying them to the garage to install 'em and broke my shoulder blade :( :banghead: (hey! If I hadn't been carrying 50 lbs of calipers under my arm, I probably wouldn't have been hurt in the first place!)

...which cost me three weeks before I was able to gently re-approach the task. They were kind enough to extend my core return time, and I got my core refund a couple of weeks ago. Nice one!

-Roy

:iagree: I'm rolling on O-rings on all 4 corners plus rear leaf and extended bolts. I lost my core but didn't know they were already sleeved and it's the previous owner's problem not VB.
