(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) is my only description of the wheel hub I bought off a Momo dealer on ebay.
Following issues; 914 VDM horn contact ring won't fit correctly, hub spline is too thick,hub nut not fully on column shaft thread, hub earths on steering column,without spacer on shaft. Contacted the seller and he claims to have stated the stock horn contact ring may not fit in his auction,nothing to that effect,checked it,its so far out the cancel piece is a long way out from being centre on the RH side. No where on the box is "made in Italy",the instructions say so but these could be easily copied,really thinking its a Chinese "knock off",anyone had this issue. Vent over ok...anyone else had this issue. TIA |

And it's a sad day for the consumer getting ripped off by the counterfeiters / the rightful mfg is getting ripped off by Ebay as well. In my (MSDS inc."mfg ") recent legal experiences trying to get EBay to "Take down " counterfeiter ads that are selling bad copies of our exhausts ...Ebay denies any wrong doing by it's legal department in keeping counterfeiters in check. Our attorney has provided " Cease and desist " settlement documents signed by the culprits, and EBay still won't pull their sales listings. The sweet spot here is Money, you see; EBay makes commission off of each sale ...they really don't care if you legally have any rights (IPR, trademark, etc.) or not to a given product...Ebay will collect sales commissions and tell the honest folk to go fly a kite. Yes it happens to Momo wheels too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
