Some guys would tell me 'Ya, but you can re-use Copper too', I'd tell them I didn't want to use copper the first time! LOL. 99% sure nobody makes M.L.S. for LT-5's...yet.

I agree.
I just couldn't say it myself i would get the boot some of you know why.

Didn't want to be the first...I know three guys that dealt with him that live in SoCal, they didn't have good experiances, their stuff turned out O.K., but he's a flake to deal with. One of my piston suppliers said the same thing, in the past.

I've had issues in the past with him as well. Wanted parts and then disappeared.

Thanks for all the comments and info. I will share with the Z owner in Japan and hopefully he can find some resolution. Boy, I thought I was challenged being here in Hawaii and I can't imagine having the Z over there and also have language barriers as well as twice or three times the shipping costs that I am always complaining about.
