Glynnyboy:
I know exactly how you feel mate. I had a very similar story to yours happen to me with a firebird a few year ago. I lost all love for the build and was totally dissilusioned by the whole thing and never finished it. I hope it all comes good for you in the end fingers crossed.

How much different mate ???

I might have been wrong in that the early pro neck and tuf neck may have been the same but on later models they are definitely different which you can see in the pic below.

Two pots mod stems with different wedges, the way the shaft is cut seems to dictate the wedge you need.

I don't think your wrong mate. As kuwahero said they look the same but on some the threads are slightly different. Some of the early tuf necks are different thread sizes to some of the later too but you can't see it by just looking at them. The threads are slightly thicker so one bolt won't fit through the other and the one that will rattles about like hell because the shaft is too wide for the bolt. The wedges look the same though. Andy Rooski on here has encountered all the in's and out's on these and really knows what he's doing.

Soooo.
Frame origianaly got "turned around in two weeks".
Frame and Bars went back in on the 4th November....still haven't got my bits back :(
I call and keep getting fobbed off, I think its got to the point of a revisit. fooking Custom Metal Polishers customer service is shite, workmanship is shite....stay well the fook clear :2gunsfiring_v1:
BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
so sorry to hear all about this mate - when i dropped of the cranks in the summer we talk about colours and the build
I think that you need to turn up with a couple of huge mates - the kind that look like they would tear a new r-sole for fun
the chromers don't seem to take you seriously and need a bit of reminding that things can change - just let them see it your way
I really hope you get it right or some money back
:knuppel2:

After much calling Custom Metal Polishers, trying to stay calm I lost it today and went down and had it out with them :2gunsfiring_v1: Frame and Bars were not there cause apparently they "sub contract" the chroming !!! :wtf:
Anyway I've got a date i can collect next Wednesday 19th January, only taken gettin on for 4 months to get this sorted out...still no guarentee on the quality of the work but I'll have everything crossed, If its still shite I'll take somewhere else. I just want my bits back now and get the Candy done by Dan :smitten:
