laney is a good guy to deal with and i have dealt with him MANY MANY MANY times and have yet to have any problems with him....unfortunately stuff like this happens, and as much as its a pain in the backside u gotta deal with it...naming and shaming not always a good idea on a site like this esp when so many people have dealt with the person. i have bought off laney and he has like wise bought off me and we have never had an issue with parts or anything from him...he was even kind enough to do a 3hr trip to drop parts off - at his expense. i see u are a somewhat new member to the site so if u want to name and shame be VERY careful who you try to shame.

as for the shell laney its a shame to see you sell her mate she was coming along so very nicely and i was looking forward to having a spin in her when she was finished
