Vendor Compliment

Bob shut down his store and retired effective Jan 1.  His products and support were awesome.

Yep.  Just went to the site.  Non-functional.  Last update Dec 31 2014, I'm assuming to shut it down.  Too bad. 

Well, THAT sucks!

Bob ran a first-class operation.  We stopped in a couple of years back when vacationing along the Maine coast and he had a very nice operation there.  Not geared to walk-in customers as most of his stuff was bought on-line and his suppliers were scattered about the country but as an aggregator and shipper he had his act together. And his customer support was legendary!

MCBD will be missed........

Any idea where we can buy a wheel balancing tool now ?

I'm glad I got that shift knob when I did.  That was the only wooden one I could find. Heck it was the only one I liked.

That new shift knob adds another great detail to your interior. Look good. 

Gordon, any idea where he got his wheel balancing tool done ? any leads to a replacement ? Where in Maine was Bob located ? Thks..

BTW..we spent four nights in Wells, Maine after Christmas and into the New Year.

Ate lots of labstah and clams. Good weather then too...cool but sunny.

Give Bob a ring or email him.  I spoke to him today and fortunately he still had one of the parts I was looking for so boom!... he is shipping it out to me.

i should have asked him if someone was taking over his business.  Seems like his retirement got many 356registry and othe Porsche aficionados by surprise.  He will be missed.

 Also, Les Schuwab have the wheel balancing tool and capability to work on VW/Porsches wide5s.

Hey guys , I just installed a mahogany shift knob with enameled Porsche emblem that I bought from Gary Cimino @ C & G Woodcraft. He offers these knobs in different thread sizes including VW for the replica market. They are beautiful and really compliment your interior if you have a Nardi wheel. He has a store on E-Bay.

I just got off the phone with Bob and he's still selling parts. He just received a new batch of 50 wheel balance tools and will put one in the mail for me. Not many vendors like to mail to Canada but he said, "no sweat".

Ironically, we holidayed in Wells, Maine over new Years Eve and were 16 miles away from him just over in Berwick.

A very nice fellow   207-698-7646
