it's to do with privacy
I have the same reason to give for people who want to know from who I import stuff from in China.
Totally legal as well.
In the end, you are dealing with RPW, so fair trading sees no reason for you to know anymore than the front man.
Lame but true.

Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I'd be asking for my money back.

argh! but i wanted these cams so badly...
how else can i go about it?
actually if i get them to tell me the profile surely anyone of the 4 camshaft companies in aus could whip them up???

For sure. Question is, did they have the billets (blank cam shafts) made?

well they told dave that they had finishhed them like a bit over a week ago... but Dave isnt sure whethere to believe them or nott so i dont really know...
do i have to buy a billet separetely from elsewhere?

stick with them... but make sure you get a massive discount, or something for free... 3 months is ages to get fucked around.
