I've only had the one contact with him so I really couldn't say; their support people were helpful. I've been happy with the products from them--steering box included--cam, pistons, valves, etc.

Side note: On one of the 'Wheeler Dealers' episodes Mike went to the Omega piston factory (I have them in my BJ8). I expected a modern factory; they're in what I'd call an 'Old English workshop.'

Well Bob, we all know that not everything is "evident on the bench"!

Load tends to change things.

AHS has a  video showing the assembly of one of their boxes. You can 
clearly see 'DWM' on the top cover (sorry, don't have a link and it's 
been a few years).

Here's a story: I got a call from Jeremy Welch himself and he said, in 
so many words "You Americans are full of it." The hard spot isn't 
evident on the bench.
