Nick Hill had a Kent failure i believe???

I do not use Kent for cams but some time ago when Piper had no stock of vernier pullies I used a pair of Kent pullies on a race Spider. 3 laps of Oulton Park and they shattered. Kent said they would like to see the pullies and would replace the broken one for me. WOW that takes care of the rebuild then. Did not even bother to send them back and wont use them ever again.

same happened to me..................no more thanks.

Just got to say my AWT cams are running superbly. Admittedly on standard timing, but so far I am very impressed. The verniers will follow later.

The question is though. How can a company as big and as respected as Kent, get it so wrong and not do **** all about it afterwards?

[Justin..]

is it a cam or pulley issue? sounds to me to be a pulley issue

[BenR]

both.

was def a cam issue on mine....if the cam hadnt locked, the pulley bolt wouldnt have tightened up til it sheered.

there was absolutely nothing wrong with the pullies, apart from the damage that the cam failure caused


still no reply off kent......surely this is against the trading act.....i mean.they have sold goods they know to be inadequate, or that the goods have a possible fault....they knew this nearly 2 years ago......surely theres guidelines as to the safety and quality of the products they sell
