Default 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.

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).

Default 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.
