Default Kevin Johnson and crank scrapers.

I am just wondering if anyone else has had any dealings with Kevin Johnson and his crank scrapers.

I recall a few people saying that they were the best out there, and worth the money.

So I exchanged alot of emails discussing what I was after with him.
We then agreed on it and he sent me a paypal invoice, which I paid instantly marked August 30th 2008.
I have tried to email him a couple times but get absolutely ZERO responce.

So if anyone else has delt with him, could you PM me a phone number as this is unacceptable now as the agreed delivery was 4-6 weeks.

i ws wondering is there isnt a simplified design for this scraper.

Honestly it looks a little too busy for me, too many parts i think? I worry about something coming loose or something

a good idea to have some oil whipping around in there yes, but I am doing this to try and get a portion of it back into the pan (drysump)

Well, I got a responce saying that they would go out today, and then got an email saying that they got shipped at 10:22 PM.

I got pics of the setup and it does look good.

To be honest though with how long I had to wait I would like to have seen him offer up a small discount, or airmail it UPS etc to me to compensate, 4 weeks turned to 4 months still without product.

Of course! Roger ships promptly or alerts you to possible delivery issues when you order though, so don't expect the naked wenches, errr, wrenches to show up to install your parts for you. International shipping on naked installers has become more expensive than good old basic customer services, hence the good service as best business model. Plus the installers don't always come back when you are done. Need to increase the core charge on them I guess.


80% of every job is managing expectations.

Looks like this new service can only be available in Texas.
Surely it is the customers who have to bone up
