Bill,

Remember my sorry Racemate experience that I posted back in June? Jay Cushman offered to help out with supplying a secondhand unit and parts that he had. Despite several emails from me I could never get him to finalise anything.

Last week I won an ebay auction for a clutch that he had and asked again if we could do the Racemate deal and combine shipping etc. He replied that he had sold the Racemate locally last month.

Bummer, but I suppose if you had someone in your shop with money in their hot little hand you wouldn't turn it down, would you! Nevertheless he could have made good his offer some months ago and had his money a lot earlier!

Jay trades on ebay as "cushmancompetition" and has had around 1800 transactions with a feedback of 97.3%. Which is not up there with the best of them but was sufficient for me to deal with relative confidence. I won't know what the clutch is like until it gets out here in about three months time, but I have no reason to believe that there will be any problem.

I've no idea what his GT40 parts are like but thought my experience dealing with him may be relevant.

Cheers
