The way the rivets sheared I would say it was a manufacturing problem. Def. contact your supplier.

I went ahead and contacted Billy about this earlier this morning since we're a dealer for them and know they stand behind their product. Looks like he jumped on it too! Thanks Billy!

And yes it would be cool to contact the MFG first for a quicker resolution. Yay.

Props to McLeod. They have always been good about taking care of thier customers. Thumbs up to ByunSpeed as well for making them aware of the situation.

Thanks again Billy. Costumer service was fantastic! Got the tracking # for my new clutch from you today. They took care of the problem just fine. Suggest anyone to buy from Mcleod.
