My comment about chosing to make it from "better material" was to do with anodizing not anyone elses product. I chose to make the mounts out of a high grade aluminium that resists corrosion better and is also very high tensile, meaning it is less likely to strip threads.
As for advertizing, I PM'ed Jimmy on a number of occasions, without reply, if it's any buisness of yours?
Brass part.. RDRP showed a rendered images of a direct copy of the original part with a brass render. Don't think that gives them the right to be the only ones producing the part.
Just so there is no confusion I'll up date the title to read 'Cream DEX210 carbon front tower/aluminium mounts' |
Noel, before getting too smug, go back and read post 117 of this thread, it is all yours and you have accused people of copying you, I would happily have kept this sort of thing private or by PM, but you started the accusations so let it not be me to be the one that is accused of starting this "he copied him" situation since it was you with your post, you brought Exotek into the thread forthe first time, not me advertising their brand, since you tried to make them look bad for being more expensive than you did you not..... I dont agree with what Tresray have done to you, (Blatantly ripping you off with an exact and direct copy after agreeing to distribute yours) I think it stinks, but please dont take it out on every other brand out there who makes a part like yours (wether it be before or after you).....
Getting out of hand?? not really imho, just sticking up for the facts and what is right and correcting the wrong assumptions some of you are making or being told...
To stand there and have the front "still" to call these a copy when the idea is "proven" not to be yours amazes me, just to admit the idea was in fact not yours several posts ago would have stopped it "getting out of hand" as you say. I dont think anyone will see you as a criminal or anything for admitting you got the idea from K-Factory, since you have as you rightly say improved on it (with your wrap around style) and made it avialable for other cars now, but stop trying to insist the idea is all yours and everyone else is copying it.........
Better material - so are you still saying that you "know" that "any" of the other manufacturers you refer to do not use the same high quality materials that also resist corrosion better etc for a fact then, simple answer is you dont know this fors sure, you do know your material is very good, but cannot be sure what others are using and assume it may be inferior, so how can you claim it?
Advertising, as an advertiser on oOple, paying to sell and advertise products on the forum I guess then yes it does affect me. My point though was that your thread had been started in an open area of the forum, which is free to dicuss by all rather than in an exclusive area which it is not.
RDRP Brass, again please, please check your facts to save yourself looking silly on this, I have already said, in the other thread, that "production samples" from RDRP were in circulation (actual parts not rendered images - I have pictures here on my PC fitted to a DEX210) from late last year (yes before anyone else) and not sure if you know or not, but the owner of RDRP (Michael Vollmer) was actually the designer of the DEX210, he created the parts for the car, all of them, so when it comes to making alternatives from other materials etc why oh why would he change the design, it would be saying he got the shape or dimensions wrong in the first place if he did, and not sure then how he can be accused of copying himself in the design of them, he created the original's?? No-one is saying no-one can make alternatives, but then does the same not apply to the front towers too..... You cant have the cake and eat it..
