Default Need a vetteworks alternative *immediately*

Hello Everyone, doing a c7 seat in a c6 corvette conversion and bought a couple of wiring harnesses from Dan at Vetteworks. I most likely bought the wrong thing, but ended up with two wires, one power connector (left in picture) and one airbag harness (right in picture) that went to the main power connector coming out of the car under the seat. Couldn't plug both in at the same time, Dan offered to wire them for me in such a way that I would only need one clamp end (see pictures) to power both. He promised to ship it back to me, but it's been over a month an he hasn't. I never got a tracking number for it either. I've called and emailed him multiple times and still haven't heard back. The links for the products are below. I would prefer no to buy them again and spend more $$, but even if I had the wires back in original condition I could have someone else wire them. Is there another vendor that sells a similar product? When I google it, Vetteworks comes up. I do have a 2013, that is the correct product

I have got the same experience with Dan. Its a great guy when you finally talk to him on the phone and promise you everything but after that it is completely silent.
Specially no emails even when promised.

Such a shame…

Did you finally came with a solution? I have the same project and not able to order anything yet.

My experience as well. I've shelved the idea of Recaros in my car. Caravaggio is no different. Upholsterer ruined and then broke them. Shelved that idea too.

Several high reputation shops as well, same thing. Couldn't get a dyno tune. If you can't handle the business, say something!

These types of vendors are detrimental to this platform.

I did, turns out I ordered the wrong thing and he was able to wire me up a harness I can use. I haven't driven it extensively with that harness because it's winter but he at least did get back to me and didn't charge me shipping.

If you want to swap the seats, I would honestly go with a seat from the same generation or seats seat covers. Definitely confirm you're buying the right thing first if you go through him
