Has anyone had recent contact with Dave H .
He is making my rally pods for my 62 TriCarb .
I was staying in touch with him by email but he seems to have gone AWOL .
I’ve tried email , Facebook , and direct phone call
Nothing .
Any suggestions ?

Spoke to Dave on the phone about two maybe three weeks ago Re. rally ducts. He assures me they were on the way being made so I presume all is well??

last contact I had with him was maybe 5 weeks ago and he assured me my rally pods were progressing and sent me pics but now he’s completely AWOL and hasn’t read the Facebook message that I sent a few days ago .......Strange ??

Success . I just got off the phone with Dave he’s alive and healthy and is putting the finishing touches to my light pods .
Apparently he has no source of heat in his industrial unit where he works and it’s been way to cold for him to work and the condensation meant he didn’t want to use anything electronic for fear of them self destructing .
Onward and Upward ��

Good news! Thanks for the update.
Hopefully my rally ducts are in the same batch.
Glad I am in Oz, where I live if it gets below 15 C we freeze!

Does anyone have a alternate source for rally Pods .
Im thinking of giving up on DH in the UK .
His customer response is non existent and it’s been almost a year since he told me me he could have them ready in a few weeks .

Well I figured I would try one last time to call DH and I did get an answer this time . He promised me that my rally pods are done and ready to ship however the Last month has been a nightmare for him with lots of life issues .
So there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel .

I did email Dave to ask him if he shipped my parcel .
It all looks pretty legit , tracking numbers official website etc etc .
Just checked and it shows my parcel in the country and has cleared customs so fairly confident it’s legit .
