Raceseng Tow Hook for the GT500

[Tomster]

I couldn't either, Tom, so I did a "Contact us" with their little email widget and got a response this morning. They are sending an RMA for exchange.

Its funny, I looked at the RMA directions and it said send it back for a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and to go ahead and order the new part via their website......

I just boxed up the wrong part and asked them to send me a new one upon receipt. I will follow up and offer to pay return shipping. Im fair....

Tom: In the email I got, the fella said he would waive the restocking fee and when they receive the wrong item, they will refund the cost. I'm not sending the original back until I get the new one.

Well, we will see what happens. He's a good guy. He will do the right thing.

Installed the appropriate tug shaft with the correct threads. Thanks again Raceseng!

Piece in my hand is the one I removed that is designed to fit the Focus RS...

Did mine on Tuesday, Tob, much better fit. Thanks again RaceENG for supporting the community.

Mine delivers tomorrow I think. They are definitely in the customer service department.

I received the correct Tug Shaft (name makes me giggle a little). I have been back and fourth over painting the ring body color, or leaving it black. I decided to paint the "R" body color, and think it came out pretty good.

GREAT idea, Jaime...I'm ON IT!

BTW, love the new avatar...did you acquire or create it?

Thanks Kent. So, I am a life long AC/DC fan, and they just released news of a new album. They have publicized a link to a web app that created the image you see as my avatar.

It’s quite the coincidence to hear about their pending new album, since I recently named my new Golden Retriever pups Malcolm & Angus, after the greatest rock guitarist one/two punch in history.

I don't know about "the greatest," Jaime. Like paint colors, it's a personal thing. When I think of guitarists, I think of people like David Gilmore, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Pete Townsend.

Roger on the avatar...pretty nifty idea to have an app build an avatar that also advertises.

Sadly, I heard that their original bass player just passed away.

ROCK ON! :-)

One could argue all day about who the greatest lead guitar player is. I am talking about the one, two punch of Angus & Malcolm Young TOGETHER. Malcom (was) the older brother to Angus, and played the rhythm guitar. Angus is the lead guitarist. Together, there has never been a better guitar sound. Yes this is my opinion, but it's a pretty popular one. Malcolm died a couple years ago, and now his nephew Stevie Young fills his shoes. Coincidentally, Stevie played with the band back in 85/86 during their world tour, when Malcolm was dealing with his alcohol demons.

Each of the people you mentioned above are great, and had their own style. There are too many to list, just as there are styles, but Angus Young is up there with the likes of Eddy Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Slash, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix...... so on, and so on.

There are some who stand out as "technically" better than others, but style overtakes technicality in my opinion. Have you ever heard the discussion about rock drummers? The battle between John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and Neil Peart (Rush)? Neil t is "technically" a better drummer, but most (self included) choose John over him, because his style sounds better.

Anyway......... this could go on forever in its own thread. I now bring you back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Agreed, my nephew, of all people, gifted it to me when he came over for a cookout that I was hosting. I was both impressed with his generosity, and his taste in whiskey.

Thoughts on comparison.

5.Oh: It looks comparable but I don't like two things...the unpainted shaft and the "TOW."

Granted, it costs more, but I think the Raceseng hook is more appealing to the eye.

Tob flipped his hook to put the logo in back...(I think.)
