I do not think so...I suppose Patrick is out of good reasons, after saying everything was shipping, and works like mad to fulfill before resurfacing...hope so. Did not give up...yet

unless he was out of luck and his mold was at the end of its life......

In which case it would be easy to say so and refund the unlucky ones....

Even better, he just needs to communicate with his customers....!!

Just so you are all aware, he has not responded to my email either at this point.

I would hate to think it, but IF something happened to him Medically... I think we would all feel very bad...

Lets hope it isn't something like that..

Clearly we would be sad if there was a medical reason, as indeed we would be for any other member. Our concern, stems primarily from his untrue statement prior to Xmas that all knobs had been sent!

His subsequent silence, for whatever reason, only compounds the issue.

Yeah, let's hope he's OK.

What makes this confusing is some folks got the parts others didn't. Unfortunately I'm one of the ones that didn't.

I know I've made knobs for different people and easily got overwhelmed (I did it for free, maybe that's why).

There was one incident, I was making clear knobs and the mold started to deteriorate and tried making new molds, but never was able to make a good mold again.

Anyway, the point is, perhaps he's gotten over his head. To me, I'd rather he'd be upfront about it rather then saying nothing. I'd be OK with that.

"Please note that I can not give an exact delivery date because of the Christmas post, but I do have them in stock and ready to ship.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, I will try to get back to you ASAP."

Mmmm...I don't think so, do you?

I don't mind waiting, I do however mind not knowing!

It seems I'm in the same boat as are many others. I ordered and paid via PayPal in Sept 2008. Have contacted Padraig numerous times with no response (the most recent last week). Am starting to lose patience. Anybody have any further updates? Gordon

Hi Guys,

I finally received my knobs in December after several earlier promises. Quality ranges from very good to a little average, although overall I would say they are worth far more than the original 30EUR charged (if you got them that is). Happy to provide hi-res photos on request.

I'm no moulding expert, but a couple of the knobs would appear to have too little plastic (ie the mould wasn't filled up) - this might be due to shrinkage? Luckily I have a CNC mill so can tidy much of this up.

The only major issue is the speedbrake knob which looks to have been demoulded far too soon and is completely out of shape (and useless). Padraig kindly promised to send a couple of replacements (one of the reverser knobs is also in need of TLC) but as yet I've heard no more. Did have a promised ship date that has way passed.

Hope you all get your knobs (Padraig, there's still time to make us all happy!!!) and I get the replacements.

Cheers
Chris
