To the good people down under in Australia

Post by af2 »

I know this shouldn't be in engine tech but I am trying to get this 400 sbc together and ordered 2 port plugs from Torqueline Garage on 12-03-2018... They charged my CC twice and I still have not received the plugs. Now after many E-mails they said they charged back the double charge and I received the plugs on the 4th.... I asked which 4th and why the double charge was not un-charged... OH and I still don't have the plugs..

Do any of you know anyone there at Torqueline? They won't give me a phone # so I can speek to a real INDIAN!!

Thanks Adam

These guys stung me just before Christmas, they advertised h beam conrods for a td42 Nissan at $900 AUD, I emailed them first and it seemed good, very fast response etc, so I paid for them with credit card .
They also charged my card twice , then gave me every reason under the sun as to why and that they would give a refund , rods never showed up after I cant remember how many emails and attempted phone calls and 2 weeks , I'm only an 8 hour drive away so they should have come over night , eventually I got some guy on the phone and he said they were waiting for rod bolts , I was desperate and said just send them without bolts and I'll get my own ,days later still no rods !!!!!!
So after 5 weeks , no rods and no refund for either of the 2 charges on my card I called the credit card company and disputed the charges and was refunded straight away , these guys suck !

I don't suppose the versions used in the aluminum 351 would be the same?

Never dealt with them but have read stories that seem to echo yours. Dodgy as hell by the looks.
