The Bravo Shop

I have been trying to get a hold of Dean Clausen since November and can not get him to return a call. I have 4 of his drives that I spent close to 10,000.00 in parts with him last year and he's to busy to return a phone call. NOT a good way to run a business IMO. I have some problems with the upper and lower housing leaking through the porosity in the castings, he knows about this problem with his drives and yet wants me to pay to get it fixed. As I own a fab shop we have tried welding them and it is not a easy task to do with the dirt and debris in the casting and you end up chasing pin holes. It seems you can't get a straight answer from him.

We had 3 bad rear caps from them before with same problem when we put a set on a 46 BT. Dean replaced them for us.

We have a spare rebuilt lower if you need one.
