Default sure looks pretty

Now if the price is good that seems like a no brainer. Great job.

Thumbs up Bonaco

I'll let Brett post his prices on here, since he is a VAF member, and soon to be advertiser, too. Thanks for the support, Brett!

Maybe he could post weights, too? I forgot to weigh mine before I installed them....

As for shipping, they will usually ship within 1 business day of ordering. It doesn't get much faster than that!

for more pictures.

The above is not set is stone, if there is a line not listed or you need lines that are shorter or longer (obviously prices will be adjusted), by all mean all you have to do is to ask. As I am always trying to make improvment any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you all here for letting me "play" here and your kind remarks. And a big "Thank You" to Craig, for without his help I could not have done this.

PS.

In my on going efforts to make sure that those who place an order with me get the lines/hoses they want, I would ask this one thing.
Please.....please check and confirm the hose lengths. Every bulider has his own style of building. And with this in mind I would much rather that You do this first...so that I know you will get lines that will fit your particular build.

Thank you.

PS. part deux
I corrected typo in e-mail address

Default Customer Service

I would highly recommend Brett for his fine service. This is another one of those companies that is genuinly interested in helping their customers. I just ordered my hoses this week and Brett was most helpful in getting me what I wanted.

2 thumbs up!

Default Bonaco

In case anyone's wondering, the guys at Bonaco have bought a booth at the Golden West Fly-In in Marysville, and Oshkosh. That's a huge commitment to our community for a company to make!
