Al
I didn't add wrong $249 was for the recert $15 was a handling charge and $31.81 was for shipping. That adds up to $295.81 (cost me $19 to send it to them). I'm not moaning about the shipping. But two years ago the recert fee was $75 plus $24 UPS=$104. There is no justification to charge $249 + $15 = $264 to inspect and attach a SFI sticker! I washed the bell in parts washer and wiped it dry because they always did have a note on the return form they would charge an extra $50 if it needed cleaning.
Brian Browell charges $75 for his alum bell housing and I believe Lakewood is the same. I just had my car restickered (25.1E) and the cost was $75 for NHRA to recert. I'm under the impression that the bell has to go back to the OEM for any work or recert so your stuck with them.
Regis sold the company and there are new owners of Trick Titanium. I was so mad I forgot his name. Guy on the phone told me they may refund $100 to my credit card (this time)...Thanks
