I returned three
oil pans to Aviad in various states of unfinishedness... The first one, waited four months for delivery just to open the box to find the welding was never completed, but it went to plating anyway. I called, they appologized, I returned it. Number two pan, had no crank scraper, I called and sent it back, when I received number theree pan it had a pan scraper but it was welded in upside down. I called and they told me it didn't matter how it was welded in..... I just gave up. I guess that is why Armando is doing such a good business. I got the feeling that if the pan was for a Cobra then all that mattered was it had one of those cool original looking stickers on the sump.
