My 69 Charger RT has the original fan clutch, and I wanted to have it rebuilt. Any one have a contact for this work?

Thanks

If you go with this guy and something isn't to your liking, just remember he is the god (in his mind) of fan clutch rebuilds and everyone else is an idiot. There are a few posts on moparts about him. In my case the clutch would freewheel after shutdown and when I called him he didnt want to hear about it.

While for the most part he seems to do quality work, his attitude and customer service are terrible. When I get around to getting mine rebuilt I intend to try this place. Kirkconnel

Mr Connell did one "2112" for my 71 cuda, 3 weeks came out great (no pentastar though), Also an "0607"? for my 70 cuda also great.

Well the last thing I need to deal with is a premadonna. I have dealt with enough of those dudes restoring mid year Vettes. I will contact Mr. Connel about my fan clutch. I am going to put a Napa product on there until I get my original rebuilt.

Thanks guys

EXACTLY the treatment I got from him as well. The ink stampings were completely wrong on two that he did for me, (when submitted I politely asked for him to replicate what was already there which were clear and crisp originals) what he returned was ENTIRELY different and when I questioned it he tried to tell me that his way was right and what I sent was wrong....AND he had a huge "Like it or go away" attitude about it.
