I've dealt with Ernie a couple times. Fucked me both times. I bought a drive shaft from him that was supposed to be a HD 1350 u-joint shaft. I gave the money to a friend of his I know because I couldn't get there and our mutual friend goes to his house regularly. He came back with a 1310 shaft in 2 pieces! The u-joints were powdered. I told him to take it back and get my money back, which he tried to do, but Ernie refused to reimburse his own friend for the shaft. I doubt he's going to give you any help. He's done this to too many people, so threats don't mean shit to him. The guy is as crooked as the day is long. Wish you would have posted before the purchase. Best to just move on and build yourself a quality motor.
