Return policy details
Product Returns:

We accept returns on all unused items in their original packaging within 14 days ON RECEIPT OF GOODS (None bespoke builds).
A refund will be made excluding all P&P costs. Its is the customers responsibility to return the item at their own cost.

We cannot accept any returns for bespoke build clutch kits including Paddle, Twin Friction or HD design clutch or braking orders with any performance designs added to the brake disc face.

If a an item cannot be delivered within our 7-10 day lead time we do not take any responsibility for losses incurred to the customer for missed garage appointments, hotel accommodation or any other expenses.

We advise all customers to wait until they have received their order before booking in any appointments for work to be undertaken.

Any clutch or braking order not installed by a qualified mechanic / technician which is registered for one of the below voluntary industry bodies will not be accepted back if installed to a vehicle.

Professional Bodies and Schemes (Voluntary)

The Motor Ombudsman:

Garages can choose to be accredited to The Motor Ombudsman‘s Codes of Practice, which are approved by the Trading Standards Institute to provide consumer protection and a dispute resolution service.
Institute of The Motor Industry (IMI):

Mechanics can demonstrate their qualifications by joining the IMI’s Professional Register, which lists certified mechanics.
National Body Repair Association,

Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI): These are examples of trade associations that garages might join for industry support and to show their commitment to standards.
Buy with Confidence Scheme:

This trading standards approved scheme can also be used by garages to demonstrate their professionalism and trustworthiness.

A vehicle registration must be provided once a sale has been completed.
Any transmission transfer from one vehicle to another will void any returns warranty.

Consumer Rights & Distance Selling

Cancellation Rights:

The primary difference for bespoke items is that the standard 14-day cooling-off period, which allows consumers to cancel distance (online/phone) sales, does not apply. Orders cannot be cancelled after purchase on bespoke orders once we have commissioned the build (24 hours after purchase). This is due to us using bills of materials which cannot be reused and prioritising manufacturing time.

All returns must be sent to:
