What parts do you need.  I've got Clevis and turnbuckle parts.  Other than that its their bearing, bracket and Wilwood master cylinder.

I've had nothing but headaches from American Powertrain since June. The latest and hopefully last(because I am going with a Hayes flywheel) is this ring gear that spins freely on the flywheel...

      Finally got this resolved, here's how Jim ( Toxicwolf ) did it. Instead of calling to complain about our long running problem, he called and asked for sales dept.   :2thumbs:  Sure enough, no wait, instant service.  So he orders another complete kit, the correct one we need, gives cc info, sale complete.   :2thumbs:  Everybody happy, but wait   :scared:  then he mentions he needs to return the incorrect one we have been trying to get exchanged. Gave them his original invoice #, shipped back. Done deal. Will never do business with them again.   :swear:

My customer got a quote for a complete TKO600 E Body package from American Powertrain on August 17th 2015. (not sure when he actually bought it)
 The order just arrived at my US address today, so what's that....43 days..or...6 weeks.... :dunno:

At least this time around I expect to chop and modify their crossmember and redo the entire center floor section... first before paint :smilielol:

       Ordering and getting parts is a breeze. It's when you have a problem that's he!!.  I will never do business with them again.  :2cents:

Have there been any other major issues besides than the ring gear spinning on the flywheel?

Their proprietary clutch disc roached on the second test drive.  It had half the friction material of the Centerforce I replaced it with.  And lastly in the initial set of parts, the pilot bushing was incorrect(mis-pull at the warehouse).
