Alan,you are talking to a guy who cut his teeth selling rock drill parts that we had made in South Africa for everyone ELSE'S rock drills here in Canada.We were truly HATED by the competition as we were ALSO importing and selling a BETTER rock drill as well .We got them to lay off with trying to slag our drills in return for NO LONGER selling the "pirate" drill parts.Instead we sold THEM all the parts and did they scrpa them??? Oh NO, they sold them as their own at full whack.
I am also quite ready to start having pirate PUMP parts made AGAIN if a certain American Multi National which I used to work for tries any more funny stuff.Cost them a bomb it did last time around the course and with this current economy I think they had best just keep sweet too.
