Default Is TM Engineering Still In Business?

Anyone know if TM is still in business? Their website seems to be up but when I tried to purchase a Daizen steering bushing kit I was unable to use a credit card and their paypal account also indicated that they were unable to accept payments.

I also emailed them but have not gotten anything back.

Is there anywhere else that sells the Daizen steering rack bushings or a similar product?

Saw Carson has a kit, has anyone tried this compared to the Daizen kit?

Thanks

From where, TM or Carson?

Is the factory steering bushings from Sewell the only real choice? I have been very pleased with their prices and service.

The guy was unable to keep up his supply relative to his demand. He underestimated just how many people was going to express interests in what he was supplying and he ran out without an explanation. You'd be wise not to provide any credit card information to this guy

Running out of supply is one thing. Taking money and then not providing goods or returning the money is another thing. Similar or better parts can be found from carson or figs.
