I have never found a reliable way to get Dai to communicate in any way other than telephone or face to face.
Recently I spent some time trying to buy a complete set of 340 polybushes using e-mail - response nil!
One phone call - arranged to bring them to the BKV - bought and paid for - a couple of "out of stock" were in the post
within a week. No problems.
I've since tried e-mail again (to talk about V3M at next years BKV) - zilch.
To put the record straight - Dai isn't inherently unreliable and he's certainly no scammer - he just takes ages to get around to anything - it's just Dai.
You learn to live with it - or go elsewhere, but remember Dai is one of the few people who puts effort into remanufacturing 340 parts (from
memory I can think of only 3 others.

he's replied to texts from me before, but ive found the best way to find him is to ring. sometimes ni answer, but ive always had a ring back. great help when thinking something doesn't seem to fit right etc.
hes also human, so cant always be on hand all the time!
