I was sold a defective screw terminal headlight switch with no “as is” or “not tested” warning.
Contacted the seller twice by email asking for rectification and received no response whatsoever.
Update: Miscommunication through email; Matt cheerfully refunded purchase price. Recommend whole-heartedly! _________________ 1973 Porsche 914 2.0

i did not end up purchasing the rings from matt, but he did take the time to take some measurements for me. so the least i can do is leave him some positive feed back.
thanks Matt, appreciate your time & help _________________ Forced induction can overcome a lot of obsticles that gets in it's way

We buy correct German cores from Matt now and then. He's one of the "good ones" in our great hobby. Knowledgeable, personable, and fun to do business with.

Thanks Matt for your professional service,
