Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Has anyone seen/heard from Phil Bastian?

I placed an order in August I was told to be patient. I understand that he has had some personal hardships which I completely understand. I have been very supportive of Phil and his situation. He responded to my emails, saying that my order is all machined, he was just needing to ship the order. I ordered the delete manifold for '99-'04 Cobra with SS inserts and line lock, almost $400. The money was obviously sent to Phil for this product.

It has been almost 4 months now, and I haven't heard back from Phil for almost a month. If my order is done and just needs to be shipped, I don't understand why he doesn't just ship the dang order. My car is apart and not driveable waiting for Phil to make this part. The irony is that I recommended this product to multiple people, and they all have a delete manifolds, and I do not. In my experience Phil has always been a standup, honest guy.

My question is, what is my next course of action? To be honest, the money is what it is, but I would rather have the delete manifold than my money back. I have spent 10 years and thousands of dollars building a car and now I can't finish the car because of the goddamned brakes.
Will I ever get my money back?
Does anyone here have a delete manifold for sale that I can buy? I'm at my wit's end, I need to finish this car it is tying up space and money and I need to move it, never mind that I live in MA and it is going to be freezing & snowing soon and I won't be able to move it.

I am a good customer, I come correct with money/payments, if a product is good I will recommend it to others. I have been around this community for years and have perfect trader ratings,etc. I have been more than patient with Phil regarding this situation given his loss.

Does anyone know Phil, have a number/adress, etc. that I can get in touch with him? The number listed on his website was working up until a couple weeks ago, now it is out of service. I'm starting to think that my money is gone and I will never receive my delete manifold.

Any advice? Thank you!

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Make one? Or have one made that uses an aluminum block with tapered pipe threaded holes and adapter fittings to connect to your brake lines.

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Not to sound like an a-hole, but if I could make my own I would have already lol.
I am a welder/fabricator but I am not a machinist.

Does anyone here have one for sale? I would be willing to pay NEW price for a used piece.

Thank you!

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

No worries. I did say "...or have it made". Just tryin' to help.

Anyway, with the fab skills you already have (and tools probably), it's not a massive leap to cut and square up a chunk of aluminum and then drill and tap some holes. I realize it will be a little more complicated to incorporate the line lock, if I understand that's what you are after.

Good luck rounding up Phil. I am guessing there's a good explanation.

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

It's not just drilling/tapping though. If it was that easy everyone would do it.
There needs to be a machined seat for the flared end of the line and the fiting to seal to at the bottom of the threaded hole. But maybe one of my buddies can lend me theirs and I can have one made like you said, thanks for the help!

And I don't know if I'd say it was a "good" explanation per se.
I don't want to divulge any personal information but Phil is in a bad place, I feel really terrible for him. We should all keep him in our thoughts and prayers because he is going through A LOT right now. Hopefully he can get himself to a better place soon, I wish him the best of luck. Phil if you read this you can call me anytime if you need anything.

EDIT:
Phil just refunded my money, thanks Phil! Just wanted to post that Phil came correct on the return.

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

I understand. My thought was that there may be adapter fittings available to go from the end of the brake lines to tapered pipe threads. And tapered pipe threads are easy to drill and tap. True that depending on the adapters available, the threads might need to be metric rather than NPT.

But obviously Phil's manifold is a cleaner solution.

Best of luck to Phil, whatever the situation is.

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

One of my buddies is nice enough to lend me his so I can try and have one made(copied) by a local machine shop. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for the response!

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Looks like you scored one over on Corral....If so, good for you man,glad it worked out.

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Anyone have one of these that they are looking to get rid of?

Re: ABS Pump Delete Brake Manifold
 

Hello to all the members, it's been many years since I was on this awesome site. Ever since my wife passed away, everything fell apart in my life. But I re-grouped and I'm back stronger then ever.

I'm now back up and running 100% with a new HAAS cnc vertical mill. I now can manufacture multiple delete manifolds in a very short period of time. If there is anyone that I still owe or has been waiting on an order from the past, please contact me. It's Good To Be Back!

Phil
