Not sure if you’ll see this, but getting some real mixed messages here I think. I reached out years ago about getting the EMF joints for my synergy linkage as there was someone on the forums pushing that you had an unofficial upgrade kit and then was told that after months of being almost ready you changed your mind and weren’t working on it. Then I see about a year ago that people were still getting the kits. I noticed a while back you stopped making these parts altogether per the website but then see this video which contradicts your website. Feel really sour that I was told kits that were not being made anymore were then still being sold it appears despite the fact I was told tough luck.
