Rob I'm sorry mate but your attitude is exactly that of the shop. And it is wrong. No matter how small the amount of money (and I'm sorry but I was happy to pay up to a tenner, which for a part that will cost them a couple of quid at most isn't bad mark up) they should want to sell you equipment, if they had a business brain they would have tried to help, got chatting about the model, and then they could even have tried to sell me last seasons model, or a budget race car to save faffing with this one, it is just common decency and more importantly salesmanship. As for I hadn't bought the model from there thats rubbish, do you seriously think modelsport ask every customer if they ordered their model from them and if not refuse to serve them? Of course not, money is money. And if your a small business which is quiet 7 hours out of 8 then I would think most people would rather talk to a customer, try to help them, and try to make some money instead of standing there bored.
And I did have the measurement I actually had a temporary made up one with me even.
Anyway not arguing about it, I shan't be back which is a shame.
