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.

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.

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

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.
X2... I got two complete shaker hoods w/ bubbles from Art & they were really nice. He's a great guy, btw.

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.
I just finished fitting some of Jerome's grills to a Gregory Shaker scoop, fit was perfect for both components, I'd rather HAVE to fit the grills so that I can control the fit to my liking, rather than that of another individuals idea of fit/finish...If Gene had trimmed the scoop openings to fit one manufacturers grilles, and you used someone elses, they may have left an undesired fit/finish,...then you'd still be having a diaper fire ...you "new guys" to the hobby have been spoiled by whats available, I'd like to see what half the babies here on Moparts would have done 25-30 years ago when there was NO REPRO, NO NOS, and used was far and few....I guess it's the "click,click.com, I want it now, my way, and I want it cheap" world we live in nowadays
