I heard that there is a global shortage of processed Kevlar and the Military have priority so raw materials are scarce at the mo. Luckily, over here we can apparently get these re-certified more than twice. This is the sort of stuff puts me off going quicker, I just can't be done with the hassle.

Anyone know what CSR's recertification policy is, given the absence of new product to sell?

They just re-certified mine for my pro-flite and it has
been done more than twice now. They said since the supply of materials for new ones are not available, they would recertify mine.

Ahhh... I need to call CSR and ask 'em about doing a re-cert on my original shield. The wouldn't do it some years ago when I wanted it done ("too old"?) and I ended up buying a new one. And it took so freakin' long to finally get the engine & trans in the car that the "new" shield's certification is expired and the car hasn't even moved under its own power w/ it. This sh!t drives me f***ing nuts...

I heard it’s a money problem more then a material shortage

I ordered a shield direct from CSR that was 5 months ago. They don't call back when they say they will and tell me it's gong out and to expect a tracking number. Still waiting.

Boycott these dorks. They either can supply it or not. The one I bought in 1999 sucked. P.O.S. What has changed in 23 years? See a pattern? Use a blanket. Bend up a shift linkage protector. It’s not that difficult.

Blankets no prob…it’s that pesky flex plate shield that sucks for 9sec guys with stock floor pans.

Send few e-mail and and now got this info:
Your shield is on nest week run for production. Once the guys bring it over to me I will send you your tracking information.

wow, well hope you do get it

When they were still out of materials a couple of months ago, I e-mailed CSR about having an older previously-recertified shield recertified again... never saw any reply. I have a perfectly good old shield, too.

I've never seen any drag strip tech inspector crawl under any car to look at the tag on the tranny shields or blankets
The flywheel shield on my S/P car has the tag where you can see it, it is mounted on the top of the shield, the tranny shield tag can't be seen from outside the car, it is on the top of the shield also
if your racing a stock type torque flite without aluminum drums and the other good internal race parts you need a good shield or blanket
If it is out of date do you care
You can send them back to the maker for recertification or use it and say you thought it current on the date

Looks very looooooong week. Send 5 or6 e-mails. No aswer no shield no tracking info.

No shield no tracking number and csr have no web Page at any more? Last sunday send email To Credit company and ask my money back
