    I have been trying to get a set of clutch/Brake pedals out of him for about two months and all I get is e-mail replys saying he will send them but he forgot to ship them, Then when he finaly did say he sent them he sent me a bogus tracking number and when I asked about it he said he was sorry he sent me another customers tracking number, And that he forgot to ship it. Does that sound wrong to any of you? It does to me! He just keeps stalling and it's getting frustrating! He got about 75$ of my money. If this guys just forgetfull disorganized and sends me the part I guess I will forgive him. But I will warn every one I can if not. Get this, He even sent me an e-mail giving me a 10% discount on my next order and wants me to use it! I told him there is no way I will without getting the first part I ordered! What if anything do you guys know about Maverick Connection? Is there anyone honest out there that I can get a Manual Brake/Clutch assembly from? Hell I will take a power set up and modify it I dont care. Thanks guys.......Aaron

    I never have used him. Talked to him on the phone a few times. Seemed decent enough but you never know. I am sure some other guys have used him before??
    Good or Bad??? lets hear them guys and gals. Anyway sorry to hear that a fellow mavericker is giving you a hard time. I just bought a trans crossmember from Craig Selvey of Craigs Maverick Corral. Nice to do business with.Maybe he can help you. If somebody knows Chuck from the maverick connection give him a holler and tell him he has an unhappy customer. Maybe he will step up and make it right. Sounds like there is some personal issues interfering with his business. Good Luck.

    Thing is I keep giving him my phone number and he doesnt call me! I have asked him via e-mail to call me at least twice and no reply. I really want to like this guy, he usually responds to my e-mails within a day or two and seems really nice but no results so far and my project is just sitting in the garage.

    I don't have anything bad to say about him, but I got the same run around with a catalog several years ago. He was nice enough, but like someone else said, seems disorganized or something.

    I know him real well, as others do on this board. He seems to just be un-organized and a little slow on shipping stuff. I don't think he will stiff you...but keep after him with a "bird in his ear" so to speak.

    I've bought from him before with no problems and he has some nice stuff. I think he just does this part time and has a real job but that's no excuse. I think you'll get your parts but like Craig said, just stay on him. He's got to be a pretty good guy like the rest of us if he likes Mavericks so don't be to hard on him yet. Good luck.

    I have also delt with him. Communications is not Chucks strong point but I've always got what I ordered. I believe iit will work out.

    Thanks guys I will keep after him. The onely reason I diddnt completly give up is because he responds. I figured if he wanted to rip me off he wouldnt keep responding to my e-mails. If you guys believe he will come through then I will wait longer. ITS JUST DRIVING ME NUTS! Thanks.....Aaron
