'67 Camaro E/SA redo

[Tim H]

I would call Moser and give them an opportunity to correct the situation.They should be on the hook for this and fix it asap,saving you some $. If you don't get a warm fuzzy feeling on the phone then you may want to go elsewhere. With social media such as this forum I would hope they view this problem as an opportunity to provide a solution and turn it into a positive for all of us to read about !
The company I work for monitors the web constantly for any such issues and jumps all over them to minimize any damage to it's reputation.

The thing is Tim that even if they repair the housing or even replace it we would get the same thing back. They offer nothing different in the design of perches. I find it difficult to believe that this is the first or only instance of this happening to a Moser perch and them not hearing about it. That and taking no measures to rectify the problem.

I agree with Tim H. Moser has a good rep for supporting their customers.

You get better results with honey rather than vinegar...

They probably buy those perches from a vendor and on a street car they would be fine.

On a racecar with a 3 speed with a steep first gear they are not strong enough.

Should they know this...well yes they should. Call them.

Not so much vinegar, but a lot of disappointment here. Worked our *** off on the car all winter to have this happen the first pass. Yeah, they will get a call for sure. This is a time killer more than labor involved for us. Don't you agree tho that as long as Moser has been in the game they would have some inkling of this problem? My partner ordered this housing directly from them on the phone and they knew full well the intended application.

For the prior post - The Calvert blocks have their own locating dowels which mesh with succeeding stacks. This was not an issue here as nothing slipped...the flimbsy perches merely collapsed.

When I call Moser I will ask if they will repair the housing and replace the perches with Calvert's which I will provide since they obviously don't have a suitable replacement. I'm off to the shop shortly to strip the housing out of the car.

Didn't Paul Wong have something like this happen to his truck at Stanton last year?

I do agree 100%

Drag racing is full of setbacks and some are out of our control.

It is a disappointing way to get started.

When I have something happen like that it just makes me more determined to fix it right....

I built a new engine last year and had plans to try and race more...

I broke the engine.....fixed it...and the same thing happened a second time. I fixed it and replaced what was causing the failures....It pretty much cost me about 2 months worth of racing time not to mention the $$$

It was a very simple issue that led to a major valve train failure. The parts came from one manufacturer and should really have been compatible. I did not pursue it with them as their stated parts warrantee policy was clear.

Racing is tough....and always has been...
