Did you ever send the original arm that failed back to them? 16G seems a little thin, can you post pics so others who have the arms can make sure to watch theirs. Good luck hope it all works out.

I've known Bill Carlton since 1995, and i have NEVER know him not to stand behind his products! I have used his parts time and time again with no trouble, but things happen from time to time. Call Bill as soon as you see this, he is expecting to hear from you so he can get you taken care of. I hope this helps.

Yeah EK done me good on my arms. They didn't come with sleeves and they overnighted them to me. They were here the next day.

I would like to see some pics. I find it very hard to believe Ekstensive would do something like this.

It doesn't matter b/c Bill is going to take care of the problem without a doubt. Ekstensive is not just some shop that can close over night and no one ever hears from them again. I also doubt that the arms are as thin as you say b/c Bill wouldn't put out anything he thought was unsafe. Just give him a call.
