Couldnt even come up with your own measurements. I knew you had alterior motive when you started asking about specific lengths. Shoulda trusted my gut.

Hey man, cool your jets. It happens. It's called a free market. You offer a product, someone likes it, copies it, and sells it too. That's one of the reasons I've pretty much backed out of selling injectors. Me and one other guy on here were selling them fully refurbished and then all these others step in and start selling them too. My supply can't keep up so I backed away. Nothing against the other people, they're just trying to make a buck too. No different than competing lift companies.

I would say to have your own promo pics though. That one I agree on. IMO, I would give credit for the original design, but after that, free market. Learn to play in it.

I agree. Your last paragraph is the only reason I posted. If he would have used his own pics. No big deal. No problem though. By his production quantity it sounds like he is making them by hand on a work bench. I know our quality is better as ours are CNC laser cut out of 1/4". Tolerance fit to .01". We are also releasing a rev 2 version with more versatility.

I saw those posts too and wondered why they were so detailed... Not surprised now that I find this.

Dude should have his own pics, IMO, too. Not really doing anything "wrong" per say, just not the way I would conduct business. Just kinda shady business practices... Oh well.

Good info to know. I always like knowing specs and info before buying anything. Or building my own for that matter. But, yeah, had a few guys post some of my images for their injector sales and it does torque me a little, but it is what is. Personally I say handle disputes through PM's. Keeps the drama low.

Back to topic though, definitely liking the product. Something I'll have to look at getting in the future.

Knowing specs is one thing, I could tell what he was doing.

The only reason I didn't use my own pic is because I'm in the middle of moving and haven't unpacked my camera so when I do get to it I will post my own pic.

As for asking the length of the rod I was only wondering how many threads were in the joints. Mine is a little longer then what yours are but has less adjacent.

I wasn't trying to start any problems I was only trying to help out locals

Like I said, free market. Whenever posting pics though, always better to ask permission when using other's images.

Good clear shot. Even though I can see it, just for others info, what are the benefits of running this linkage? Why should I pay $40 for, what is essentially, an adjustable arm for for my t-case? Just a couple thoughts that would probably help you sell 'em. Good idea and I can definitely see the benefits. Once I have the extra cash I'll be ordering one.
