List
To go along with what Peter has said, I to had
Apple re-do my MC. Before it was done they
called me. Told me that I had the option of the
brass, which they were having a problem with the
step, or stainless steel. I went with the SS. My
car is not yet finished but it does have brakes.
I was happy with the service I received from
them.
