Re: Re-wiring power windows/seat on '66

I would strongly suggest getting some similar gauge color coded wire that matches up with the original colors. There are a variety of sources for such wire including Parts Express (http://www.partsexpress.com) or http://www.wiringproducts.com/ You will not regret this years later when you are tracki...

Re: We need a specific forum for problem vendors

OK, I am cool with putting these messages directly in the Parts Information topic; it will work as a Vendor Experience zone. I put my Kanter experience in there and it seems like it is a good place for these kinds of things.

Kanter Automotive

I had an interesting experience with Kanter when I ordered the Front End Kit and Rear Brake hose. The total of these items was about $360 so when they told me the total was $358.80 I thought nothing of it. Their site also had a very visible Free Shipping offer that I was taking advantage of - or so ...

Re: We need a specific forum for problem vendors

As for why I mentioned the specific topic, it is hard to find these kinds of things and I feel that having them in one place is best so we can see all vendor experience messages in one place. I will be glad to post my experience in a place of your suggestion, but I feel that having a specific sub to...

Re: We need a specific forum for problem vendors

Update: Now we get the flip side of this... I had filed a dispute with my Credit Card company and with my AG both of whom agreed I had a strong case. Lucky for Kanter they figured this out; Kevin went to someone above him (probably the owners but I do not know) and they took care of the problem in a...

We need a specific forum for problem vendors

I had a major issue with Kanter where they will not honor the Web Site offer for free shipping because I placed a phone order. The site says nothing about requiring the order to be placed on the web, so I wanted my shipping refunded. They refused. Long story short, they advertised free shipping and ...

Re: Aluminum Intake Manifold from Rockwell

I want the seats from a late model Cadillac if I can get them. Otherwise I would be very happy with seats like in my truck with the armrest... although I am not totally certain they would look right until I get them in. Should be OK but... I had bucket seats and a console in my first Toro. It was a ...

Re: Aluminum 2-piston calipers

I actually kinda like the logo, although I can understand your point of view. I decided I will buy one late next month, see for sure that it fits, then buy the second one. I figure the time is now since I have brand new cross-drilled and slotted rotors and they should be able to use the stock pads. ...

Re: Insane serpentine belt kit...

I'm thinking of selling a kidney for it next year... :lol: Seriously, I went with a 69 Toro instead of a modern sport sedan so I figure I am already about $30K ahead of the game so what is a few bucks here and there over time? I only paid $3250 for my Toro so over time I can invest in some nice baub...

Re: Aluminum Intake Manifold from Rockwell

I have dreamed of a fuel injected distributorless Toronado since the mid 80s. Now that it is possible I just have to do it. It helps that I am of the resto-mod mindset and want a fully modernized Toronado. And nothing beats fuel injection for driveability, power and fuel economy. All there is to the...
