McLeod Fastech bolsters
 

I read in another thread that McLeod is closing. If this is true, I wonder who Formula will use for their Fastech bolsters.

I sure hope that is wrong!

Michael is probably getting too old to keep it going. Not sure if his daughter Stephanie would keep it going or not. Plus I bet their orders are down big time. Two main stays for their production were the fastek and Sunsation, and neither are producing a lot of new orders right now.

Baja used McLeod interiors also. With the new Fountain ownership, they may have pulled the plug on that contract. It'll be sad if McLeod really pulls out, they make the most innovative stuff out there.

Has anybody called yet? If Formula doesn't, someone needs to buy all the Formula patterns...bad enough they got rid of the SR1 stuff.

I just called b/c I need a part, and the # is out of order.
734.942.1166

This explains why my recent voicemails and emails went unanswered....Damn, where do I get the part now? Might have to have a machine shop fabricate it (the threaded seat post that connecs to the lifting ram).

I have two. One is fully functional even though the spring is a bit rusty....and the other one is ok except for the retainer on the button side....dumbazz at the upholstery shop didn't know how to take it off. I changed to power.....

McLeod Will Not Respond to Calls or E-mails
 

I need the same part for the actuator assy. I talked to Stephanie on July 6th, they charged by credit card on July 7th and I still haven't seen my parts.
All of the mailboxes are full, and no one is answering e-mails. The phones were down the last week in august, but have been back up again for about a week now.

I can't help with switch parts, but if anyone needs covers or upholstery I can handle anything you would need. 724-833-7825 www.custommarinefabrication.com

Also working on a design for our new bolsters if anyone would like to give their opinion which one we should go with.

I'd be more than happy to give an opinion. PM me or post it here.

I ordered new skins for my bolsters in April, and I guess I got on their e-mail list, hopefully they are still in business.

Dear Valued McLeod customer:

I just wanted to send you a friendly update letting you know that I have
moved back to Arizona where the sun shines all year round. I am very
happy to be back and am still somewhat helping my Dad with quotes and
sales at McLeod Design Group. These tough economic times have of course
been tough on everyone in the boating industry but we are still HANGIN
ON! J

My move to AZ was very last minute, my husband got transferred in August
and he had to report to the Phoenix office within TWO WEEKS!! So my
world at McLeod was turned upside down when we decided to accept the
position and move back. My Mom (Alicia) and Dad (Michael) and running
the office and handling sales now - which is all new to them. But if
you need anything at all please don't hesitate giving them a call at
(734) 942-1166 or send them an e-mail at:

[email protected]
[email protected] - this email will be up and running by the end
of the week.

It has been a pleasure working with all of you!! My mcleoddesign.com
email will stay active probably forever because it is hard to part with,
but I don't get to check it as often as I did since giving up my
Blackberry J

I wish you all the best and a very happy holiday. If you have any
questions please don't hesitate sending me an e-mail. Happy Boating!!

Your Friend,

Stephanie McLeod Lee

Got that email today too. I know someone had big problems with them but they treated me well last winter when I bought new skins. Hopefully they are still open even if it's with a skeleton crew.

We ordered parts last year for a 1991 seat - and received it

Top Service Company

Hope they stay in business

there is no substitute for their great bolsters

Just talk to Formula today and they said that Mcleod is still in business and working with Formula.

Good to hear..

Wonder how many fasteks they built this year they needed the bolsters for? :confused:
