I just had my first, and probably my last conversation with Belmont Metals. "Brooklyn Noo Yawk" in their address should have given me a clue what I was about to experience. Any attempt to get beyond what's published on their website about the suitability of a particular alloy for use in an antique engine got the same rude, condescending answer that "We don't recommend which alloy to use!" Their loss, not mine. I've had several very helpful conversations with very knowledgeable people at Rotometals- - - - -I'm going to continue doing business with them! Acting like you're doing me a favor to take my money IS NOT the way to do business with this old Tennessee Ridgerunner!
