Anyone know where I can purchase a quality Shaker bubble? The one I purchased from Ben Snobar is junk - vents are no where near the mounting points, the bubble has separated along the base, the openings are too large etc.
Whilst I purchased the item a while ago, it has been in its original carton it was shipped in and in climate control storage. After contacting Ben to negotiate a solution his response was it is out of the 30 day warranty period and I would have to pay full price plus shipping for another one.

Vent fitment

Two of the four mounting tabs not even close!

other side

another!

Now that's awful.

Not sure why they are disputing the warranty period, it simply does not fit and would have fallen apart from engine heat/use if you would have mounted it within the 30 days. You deserve a new one.

Thanks for posting and let us know where you find a good one.

Can anyone give me the heads up on where to get a quality bubble?

Well, not from "Ben SnobAr"...you just hit him with 1000 negative vibes...

Ask for Art, tell him I sent you, he carries Gene Gregory's products at the same prices as going direct, nothing better out there short of the real thing.

I have one from Ben too but have never put any of it together yet as Im not that far into the build but now Im going to unpack it and see how it fits. So I mioght be looking for a new one too.

Scott, thanks for the reply. A guy here in Australia contacted me as he just purchased one from Six Pack Performance. This is the picture he sent me of the bubble assembly as he received it.

BTW very happy with those Hemi carbs you did for me Scott!

Teamx, yes that's the scoop I was referring to. I'm glad you like your carbs.

Thanks!

I second the Six Pack Performance shaker set-up! Art was great to work with and delivered a great product!

Thanks for the heads up. I will make sure to mark Ben Snobar as a source to stear clear from.

How are AAR Quality Fiberglass bubbles?

I bought a few from AAR years ago, service from them left something to be desired, quality was good, but Six Packs was marginally better plus Six Pack will pre-fit the grilles for a small fee (worth every penny!).

Well...I bought a couple bubbles of Gene Gregory's e-bay auction:

Well...I don't know if these are rejects, or they're cheap b/c he didn't spend the time to finish them b/c the grille mounts seem kinda crude, and no holes drilled.

Grille openings will need some filing down.

I haven't yet fit grilles in them yet (they're over at my other garage), so can't say yet on fittment.

I guess you get what you pay for. Too bad the description doesn't say they need to be finished.

I just hope the grilles fit.

Well ragtop I hate to say it but sometimes you get what you pay for. Gene's bubbles are great, but there's a lot of finish work done to them before Six Pack Performance sells them, hence the higher price. The pictures in that auction look pretty clear to me that they aren't finished yet. At least you should have a quality part as a starting point.
