I feel horrible for originating this thread. mark was a true 914 enthusiast and a valued member of this community.
May he rest in peace. I started out my day wondering where an order I had placed a couple of weeks ago. I started this thread "Is Engman parts still around?" The details are not important, this post edited because of the news. I had ordered some parts and paid via PayPal. Today, I went to the cart section of the paypal website and I get the following message: Engman Parts.... Error Message: This recipient is currently unable to receive money. [Return to Engman Parts] Got a PM from a Distinguished member of our community and forwarded it to the Admins for confirmation. Any words of wisdom? |

Back in July, I bought a fuse panel from Mark and on installation found out that he had installed the fuse block backwards. Easy enough to turn it around but before I did I dropped him an e-mail to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. He insisted on sending it back to him so he could correct it and also offered up one of his other items for free. I declined his offer, but he sent me a SS reservoir clamp for free anyways.
Truly a stand up guy. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
