I would like to gauge the opinions of people who have purchased these as to their quality. I ordered a set this week and I'm somewhat disappointed in them. I have attached some photos. I would like to know whether this is how they tend to be or if I should be complaining and trying a different supplier?


The ends of the smaller tubes.


Is this filling a hole? Or just a random spot of weld?


General welding spatter.

The ends of the tubes are all hand finished with a file and not very evenly. If this is the way they are always delivered I'll be spending a few hours tidying them up before putting them anywhere near my car.

Thank you for the input. These didn't come from ACT but one of the other TVR parts dealers.

An update for you all. I returned these to Racetech today. They were very helpful and replaced them with a better set. These do come out of the same place that the ACT ones are made. Racetech told me that they do have another supplier who makes much better quality items but they are twice the price.

Fingers crossed they don't leak!
