Returns Accepted:Returns Accepted Item must be returned within:30 Days Refund will be given as:Money back or exchange (buyer's choice) Return policy details:Return policy; I really don’t have time for returns so it is always best to ask questions before you buy in ensure you get the correct parts the first time. EBay Is forcing sellers to offer 14 day money back option starting on June 1 2012. Last year eBay forced sellers to remove email addresses from listings so eBay could force more people to join eBay to send messages and make purchase through eBay. And of course make it safer to buy on eBay. Of course this makes it next to impossible for my customers to send me pictures of their boat parts so I can identify them before purchase. EBay also will give sellers a discount on final fee value (EBay fees) for sales that don’t use the messaging system but of course more messaging is needed without pictures so please message or call me if you are not sure what parts you need before you buy, I would rather pay the extra 5% and have you message me than to cause more returns. I always put my email address in my feedback area for warrantee & pictures. 1) If you really want to return for cash back there will be a 25% restocking fee and you pay all shipping and sales fees I incur. A $25.00 return handling fee may also be added on top of restocking fee’s. In other words don’t buy parts you don’t need just to see what they look like. 2) If I send you the wrong parts and it is my mistake I pay all fees, shipping and you get 100% of your money back. I make the decision who made the mistake and usually the mistake is obvious. 3) NO returns or refunds on installed, used or damaged items. Items must all be in original condition and you are required to inspect all items and ask for refund before attempting installation. 4) Unused items may also be returned for cash back or store credit with a restocking fee possible less than 25% 5) If your items are shipped to a second party and they claim damage was done when they got the items there will be no warrantee, refunds or credit. 6) For any refund, credit or return all items must be shipped directly to you the buyer. 7) Any damage in shipping claims must be filed with me within 3 days of receipt of items. 8) There is a 14 day cash back policy for all returns. After that there is only store credit or replacement and you pay all shipping. 9) Check individual items for warrantee. Hydraulics 2 year on defects. No warrantee on line threads on pumps or hydraulic rams. If you strip threads you keep them and no refunds of any kind. 10) I cover shipping insurance and if damaged when item arrives shipping 3 day coverage. The shipping insurance does not cover install damage. 11) Any remanufactured part is covered by shipping insurance but not covered for dropping and breaking after arrival. It is 3 days to inspect for damage and 14 day return policy undamaged. Example; You buy gimbal housing and inspect and it is fine. You take it to mechanic and he breaks it (NO RETURN OR WARRANTEE) If something is broken when you open package contact me through the eBay messaging system and check my/your feedback for my email address so you can send me pictures. 12) I am not like Wal-Mart when it comes to returns. There are sometimes heavy shipping fees for returns and of course eBay, pay pal and credit card fees to consider in the sales. In the store eBay gets 10% on every purchase. 13) No returns on partial orders unless authorized by me. For instance bellows/transom kits if you decide not to use a part but used the rest of the kit there is no return on that part so please don’t ask. If you wanted to return let’s say the shift cable bellows from a set then the rest of the kit would cost more sold individually so there would not be a refund, it would cost more. 14) All returns must be authorized by me before returning. This may help you determine what parts you need so you won’t have to return. Type 1 is 1963 through 1975, Pre alpha 1976 through 1982, Alpha 1 Generation 1 1983 through 1991, Alpha 1 Generation 2 1991 to date and Bravo is 1987 to date. Of course these are actual but manufactures may have used older models and your boat may have been upgraded.

Alpha one Gen 1 Pre Alpha Transom Repair W Bellows Glue HD Bearing Universal Kit

Free Shipping in the US!!

This kit comes with a heavy duty sierra bearing 18-21005 used in all newer model Mercruiser Gimbal’s. The HD bearing works fin in older models and can take the rougher treatment or higher RPM’s.

I have these kits listed in another auction with a starting price of $99.99

The HD bearings are $70 by themselves so I am substituting the standard bearing with this HD bearing and it is only $35 more. This auction starts with the low price of $134.99.

You only get 1 bearing, the heavy duty bearing with this kit. I keep the standard bearing.

This auction is for 1 bellows set all parts pictured come with auction! Including the heavy duty sierra bearing. This is a universal set that will fit all

Alpha One Generation One!

Pre-Alpha!

Type 1/MC 1!

From 1963 to 1983!

This set includes;

Drive shaft/universal bellow

Exhaust Bellow

Shift cable bellows

1 tube bellows adhesive (Quicksilver)

Both the 5/8” & ¾” water hose

Gimbal Bearing

Gasket and O ring for outdrive

In my E-bay Store you will find the other individual Bellows listings for all the Mercruiser drive configurations including Alpha One Generation Two & Bravo! So you don’t have to wait for this auction to end you can just go into my eBay store and find the correct bellows set for you!

I have had a lot of questions on the brand name of these bellows sets. These are a mixture of various brand names. I cannot list the brand names because E-bay considers it brand name spamming and automatically removes the listings. I buy these from multiple suppliers in bulk to make up the sets. This is where I protect you the consumer. I have noticed no matter what sets I would buy there would be one thing I would not like about them. For instance stainless steel bellows clamps would be made out of 640 stainless steel and they would rust and break. Or the shift cable bellows’ rubber would be too thin walled. Or the drive shaft bellows would either be too thick or too thin or allow it to stretch out of proportion or prematurely crack.

This is a word to the wise; Shift cables should also be changed every 5 years while you have the drive off the boat doing the bellows. Remember you may think the shift cable is good and working properly but the cables wear on the inside where you can’t see it. And if you don’t change the shift cable with the shift cable bellows you will have the extra labor of doing the shift cable before the change of the second set of bellows because the cable will not last the 10 years. New Shift cables are $65 including shipping and it is not worth the labor of replacing it separately.

Oh here is a tip; Never store your boat with outdrive in up position as it stretches out the bellows and allows the hydraulic ram seals to dry and freeze up so they wont close.

It is easier to find items in my store if you click sellers ebay store and then to the left click the category that you need. Alpha One Generation One, Alpha One Generation Two, Bravo, Type 1, Type 2, pre Alpha or TRS! Or because ebay has ranked me so highly you can just search the web for my products or my ebay store name mikesalphas to find everything I offer on ebay. Ebay keeps making it easier!

If your boat has a tendency to keep blowing out bearings you should consider installing a heavy duty gimbal bearing instead of this standard bearing. They are an extra $35.00 and can be well worth it. Just message me after purchase and tell me you want the HD bearing and I will send you an invoice with the extra $35.00 added to it. It fits just fine on the older type 1, pre alpha and Alpha One Generation One's. I also have the HD bearings listed in another auction with this universal set!

If you are not sure if you have a gen 1 or gen 2 look at the way your hydraulic rams attach to there shafts on the drive or gimbal ring, gen 1's attach with nuts, washers and black rubbers and gen 2 uses E clips and white plastic inserts.

I removed the overnight express mail service option because USPS only guarantees anything to be delivered in 3 days. The last 10 packages I have either shipped out or had shipped here took the same amount of time as priority mail 2/3 days!

Revised Dacia Sandero (2012) first official pictures

Tue, 18 Sep 2012

It’s been five years in the making but Dacia has uncovered the latest version of the Sandero ahead of its official launch at the Paris motor show. There's been a styling overhaul inside and out, but it's the Dacia's low price that'll get consumers excited... The 2012 Dacia Sandero's exterior changes You may struggle to identify any major aesthetic changes from the old Sandero, but Dacia claim its new model incorporates ‘more assertive, status-enhancing design cues.’ One thing's for sure, Dacia has made an effort to bring the Sandero in line with its other models, such as the Duster, with a more angular front end and sculpted flanks.

Peugeot Partner Teepee Outdoor HDi 110 Review & Road Test Part 2

Sat, 24 Apr 2010

Peugeot Partner Tepee Outdoor HDi 110 Review & Road Test Part 2 One unexpected bonus of driving a van with windows came at the local branch of Waitrose when I noticed the look I was getting from a fellow shopper as we both unloaded our respective trolley’s contents into our respective boots. While he hurried to empty his shopping trolley in the heavy rain I stayed lovely and dry under the protection of the enormous tailgate as I leisurely unloaded mine. This will never be a particularly cool car but the cool level must rise ever so slightly when other motorists express a sliver of envy, if only for that one small thing.
