Pirate Jack

I hope their customer service is good. I bought this brake system in the spring, and just now got around to putting it on. The front disks went on with out a problem. However, the booster was a problem. It came out, the bracket that holds the booster was to short (Inch and a half), from the booster to the firewall. I mocked and piece up, to go between, to put the booster in the right location. All good nice peddle height etc. However, the proportioning valve won't mount on the left side, of the master as the parts dictate, as it hits the inner fender.
. I could custom mount these parts, with some work on my own, and expense, but I paid good money to just bolt this system on. Please tell me they are good to deal with.

Hello, I just left a thread concerning Pirate Jack Rotor...inner race is wrong! Here it is below again.

IF YOU HAVE PIRATE JACK ROTORS...READ THIS! DANGEROUS! Today, I planned on installing new drilled slotted front rotors for my 1971 Charger that I purchased from Pirate Jack. They are part number 5314RX and 5314LX and fit 1962-1972 Mopar B&E Body. I did not want to use the preinstalled bearing races (also called cups) that come with the rotors, as overseas manufactures will use the cheapest available. I removed the inner race to install an SKF bearing race (part number BR6) and realized the diameter is different. The correct race OD is 59.1mm and Pirate Jack's are 59.95mm. Ok, this seems like nothing but the correct race is completely loose and will not stay secure in the rotor. Also the correct ID of the race should be 48.2mm, but Pirate Jack's is 49.2mm which means the bearing is riding incorrectly in the race. This could EASILY lead to dangerous failure! As I have two new inner bearings (left and right) I took the photo below showing the bearing seated in Pirate Jack's race (left) and the correct race (right). You would not likely notice this unless you removed the preinstalled race.

Thoughts or feedback on this?
