SBC Plug (Dec 02 2006 12:48 GMT) - Well I am about to order a clutch and I wanted to talk to Peter cause that is who every one on here says I should talk to. So I called southbend yesterday, twice as a matter of fact, and both times Peter was buisy. However within an hour or less he called me right back and was more than helpful in explaining the detailed differances in a single and a DD and even gave me some pointers on changein it out cause my G56 is slightly different than a standard SMF. So the point is that even thought most if not all on this site recomend SBC and Peter inparticular but untill yesterday I have had no dealins with either the company or Peter himself. I have to say eveybody on here is right and the service is top notch as I am sure the product is to. |
