Amici,
I could go into a rant about David Bonito, buy I will refrain. All I will
say is BEWARE... I think the guy inhaled too much agent orange in Vietnam!
It appears that he has maybe calmed some and is making some nice aluminum
parts, but I would have a hard time paying his price for the "gold plated"
aluminum / copolymer thingies.... Although Tiger probably likes the color
choices!
Nylatron or poly works great for me!

Amici,
I Know this guy personally and so does Mark Pruitt.
I would never want to damage any body's reputation but I consider all of you
friends and I feel I should warn you.
This individual is VERY unstable so if you do deal with him, be very
careful.
He has quite a reputation in the TR6/Ebay world.
I won't go into details but Mark may care to elaborate further.
Mike
