Anyone use Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix for their 914?

Their shift linkage kit for WEVO 915 is junk, and high-priced. Atleast when I bought it 5 yrs ago. Their clutch cable set up for same is/was half-baked. You can't adjust it in-situ and the tension on the cable makes installation difficult. And the cable sleeve connection at the firewall is the same diameter as the stub. Duh. And they never returned my core refund for the needed custom 915 shift rod. Called, called, called - gave up. Their spherical bearing for the shift rod at the firewall has no boot or seal, so it is exposed to dirt and water ingress - again half-baked. Probably best to think of their kits as starting points than turn-key solutions, except they are priced as solutions.

I am running the Martin Bott 916 setup. I am using the PMS clutch pulley and cable. No problems. Everything fit perfectly. This was six months ago. He must of fixed it.
I am also using the firewall bearing and am worried about the same issue without a boot. My shift linkage is early 914-4 with a CFR adapter, apex joints and 5/8" rod.

James is a complete gentleman, a true Porsche professional and is passionate about his work and the level of service he provides. I have found him very good to deal with. I was in Phoenix a couple months back and stopped in to see the shops in person. Well organized, clean and professionally run. He is building a new shop that will be around 25,000 sq ft all under one roof. I have confidence recommending them.
