Im quoting someone else here:
"I know this is off topic - Barls can you please explain rules on naming and shaming one supplier and not another."
I think it was the same thing - regarding to VolksConversions

I really can't work out the policy of bagging a business on this site. I personally have never had a problem with John at Volksconversions.
There are several Volkswagen Specialist businesses that I would avoid like the plague - I cringe when someone recommends them, but just bite my tongue
and shut up.
Good on you Denver - got in just as I was typing a response.

he was already named and i stated my experience on it. no details just that.
we have countless threads on where is one supplier.
if you want the details of my experience pm me I'm happy to share and maybe save you the same problems.
so its alright for everyone but me to give advice on a supplier. is this the same as when i post something for sale i have countless people harassing
me telling me my post doesn't meet the rules when it does. if you have a problem with one of my or anyones post please hit the report button its
there for all to use.
also the rules are under review so speak now or hold your peace till next time we review them.
now thats far enough off topic back to the op topic please.

I use Kennedy Engineering, might be a bit more expensive now the dollar has dropped. I have used Unicap(man), Shermann(auto&man) and
Kennedy(auto&man).
Kennedy kit, you pull it out of the box and bolt it on. The hole are exactly where they should be, the flywheel is balanced, the hole are drilled
straight and the tapped hole are straight and metric.
