Caliper overhaul - warning

As part of my 993 rebuild, the brake calipers were stripped, painted and rebuilt. To finish off nicely, I decided to buy some nice shiney nipples with covers. The Brembo 'gold' nipples have a different base angle so do make sure that you select the correct ones!
Having done some research (and a pointer by a fellow Forum user - but in absolutely no way to blame) I found a 'motor-bike' parts supplier who lists the Brembo Gold Nipples with covers. A set of 8 were ordered - which arrived a few days later BUT completely wrong ones.
I immediately contacted them, and after 2 reminders I recieved a response apologising a stating that they would send the correct ones out.
Well a month has gone by, many emails - which they now don't respond to - won't answer the phone on the contact number listed and looks like it's a lost cause.
Another internet search and MCN forum reveals a whole host of complaints against them - a scammer!
I've contacted my Credit Card company some hopefully will get a refund - it's not a great amount of cash, but of course all these £30 odd amounts equates to a lot!

Not sure if the mods will allow this but - Be warned - don't use moto-racing.co.uk for any parts - you're wasting your money!
