MG MGA - Speedograph Richfield

Has anyone been in touch with Speedograph Richfield lately? I have been trying for six weeks to get a right angle drive. I sent two emails with no response and then called several times to be told that "the chap who made those calculations was not in, perhaps he will be here later this afternoon". Today, two weeks after my last phone call, I can only get a busy signal on their end of the line. I called numerous times including a call long after business hours to see if the phone was perhaps out of order, again only with a busy signal.

Was just wondering if anyone else was having trouble doing business there.

Jon I had the same problem and thought they had gone out of business and after about 2 months Tim got back to me. This was only 6 weeks ago. They made me a custom ratio gearbox that mounts on the back of my
TF generator with a Volvo engine. The gearbox works fantastically and they also made me a custom speedo drive cable with a Volvo gearbox drive and a MG speedo end. Again the cable was fantastic. But thier service sucked. After I received my items I wrote to Tim and thanked him and told him that they need to work on the response time and service. He appreciated my comments and said he'd work on it. Obiviously they haven't.

Their work is great but I think you need to be patient and just perceveer.

I emailed them twice when getting ready to install my 5 speed gearbox about 18 months ago, carefully listing all my specs, in order to find which of their right angle drives would suit my application. After I received no response to either email I gave up and made alternative arrangements.
I'll be dammed if I'm going to have to beg a retailer to do business with me. Good product or not, I won't be back!
