Arrow Mcleod flywheel problems

Just a heads up to FE guys building a 410/428 that are using a Mcleod Flywheel. Compare the balnce weight on the Mcleod with the placement on the original before installing. I just got my rotating assembly back from the balancer and he had to relocate the weight from the INCORRECT position that Mcleod had placed it at,by app'90 degrees. When he initially called I was concerned that he may have been unfamiliar with the set up although he had just done a SCJ engine for me with no such problems. When I contacted Mcleod tech, they were very arrogant and pretty much said it was impossible that the weight had been put in the wrong spot. When I got the assembly back and compared where he had moved the weight to a stock 428 flywheel it was in exactly the same spot (within the wider cast in Ford weight) and the Mcleod holes were 90 degrees out. If I had been installing it as a replacement it would have probably shook the car terribly. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, even good products apparently have poor quality control and snot ass tech help.
