Roger is great to work with. Helped with the shipping process and followed up to make sure everything was good. The Seats in my opinion were in better condition then advertised. Honest, reliable seller. Thanks Roger for holding the seat for me. The transaction could not have been completed without all your help, understanding and patience. I hope to be able to buy from you again sometime soon..

Thanks Again

I just purchased a 131A Drift from Roger that was made by him and I am excited to use it.

Roger was communicative and gave me options. He shipped quickly as well.

Thanks again Roger!

I purchased a set of cylinder honing plates from Roger to put the final plateau finishes on two sets of 90.5 Mahle cylinders. I provided the case and head measurements to Roger and when I received them they fit perfectly!
Unfortunately USPS failed deliver the first set but he promptly made a replacement set and shipped them out. A quality engine building tool for the money. Given his skills as a machinist, I plan on using him for some case machining.
Thanks, Roger

I was excited to take the slop out of my steering, but was worried about buggering up the bushings. I saw Roger was selling the 131A tool and I reached out to him.

He was excellent at communication and shipping. The tool worked great. I did this on my back in the garage, so I didn't have the swing clearance to hammer the end of the tool, so I used a small jack to 'preload' the force on the tool and new bushing. I hit the bottom of the cup of the jack with slight taps and drove it in.

I did this as well as reamed the new bushings for clearance of the new pin all within an evening.

I just received the 131A tool from Roger and I’m amazed by the quality of this tool. An extremely well made tool and the attention to detail is very apparent and very fast shipping on top of that. This guy is an asset to the VW community and we need to support folks that are producing high quality tools to help keep our vehicles on the road. I hope to purchase more tools from him in the near future. Many thanks for the tool and great communication along the way.

Had Roger make a set of cylinder shims for an 80mm Okrasa build. He was quick to reply to emails and offer helpful advice. Shims were made and shipped out quicker than his estimate. Product and service were excellent!

I purchased the 131A bus center pin tool and it arrived quickly and beautifully made.

Roger is a class act, all the way.

Thank you very much!

Little bronze nuts for back-up/fog/etc lights are sweeeet! RWK is a craftsman.
