Hopefully, SAI will step up to the plate and get this done since this is really their mistake, and not really a warranty issue as much as a piss poor design and safety issue.
Hope you get it resolved with SAI quickly so you can enjoy the summer driving season.

Exactly what I was hoping for - to just send me new parts to take care of the problem. The say they don't have anything different available right now. It is funny that several people have suggested giving my car back to SAI and asking for a new roller and transfering the csx vin number and bascially starting fresh and letting them do what ever they want with the old roller (crush it, study it, re-vin it). Unfortunately It will still involve A LOT of labor to transfer the parts I have added to make it a car (assuming that they would fit on the new chassis - ever wonder why the header kit is a bunch of tubes that need to be cut / fit / welded?). Something tells me that they don't want to build me another car - even though that may have been the right thing to do when I had my first set of problems. Probably would have avoided a lot of what I have had to go through since.
