I was told no, I asked why & was told that metal deteriorates and they could be junk !! I asked if this was true with all MW products or just rear end mounting plates & the jerk hung up.
 I now spend most of my money with The Chassis shop, S&W, and Strange.
 I do know that I'm being fair with Mark.

Van, that is indeed a disappointing outcome. I had a different experience when I met Mark in Indy in 2002. We were talking about early FED chassis designs, pros/cons of front suspension, then he got a piece of paper and started sketching what he was explaining to me.

rooman:
A friend of mine was on the MW deal (after a $10K buy in) and after a couple of years he was short of his minimum spend for the year by less than $400 and they cut him off and said that he needed to start again. In the case of most of the companies that I deal with if that situation had come up someone would have called me and told me to spend a few bucks to keep the deal going. As it is everyone that I deal with is just happy to have me move their parts at any rate with no minimums after the initial buy in.
   The MW parts are absolutely top quality but a lot of their stuff is priced a little high relative to the opposition, especially their modular rear end components. And if the metal "deteriorates and could be junk" maybe they are not as good as they think.   :)   Hopefully he was just talking about the appearance of the parts and not the structure.

I'm sorry but, aside legality matters, I don't think it's fair to Mark.

First, I dont have a FE print because every car I do is different.  But I have made copys of his prints for shop use, and kept the original in the packing tube. I even had a set laminated so as to use a dry marker for notes and changes.
