dont think he works from home mate, he's got a proper place by silverstone (i think thats the one ) lol anyway even if it was from home he'd have extra overheads to pay for, but still think its well over priced!  I thought this was uncle norbo's job! lol |

I have to say i have hered stan uses patten parts and charge for yam parts a few times. and he charges for advice as well. He has been around for a long time now but from what i have seen people have nothing good to say about his work . and he works from home so no extra over heads. How do they know Stan uses Patten parts, unless they strip things down to check his work ;D He does charge for advice but why not..time is money. Norbo used some patten parts on my engine. He dont work from home mate hmmmm so where does he work! Its a mistery!! Maybe he's a secret agent!!!!!! Im gonna look into it! |

I have heard the same about him using patten parts and charging for gen yam. I have seen a crank that came to me that he did that wanted a rebuild and it had had a new stan crank in a couple of years ago the bloke told me stan had put all new gen yam parts in. It had patten parts in good jap ones no problem with the quolity of the parts used ,but he charged gen yam and thats not right. But how would people know. If you go to a race track and ask who did there tuning non will say stan. Thats what i found a few years back when i did a bit anyway. Jerry pell was the man for a race tune.
