This is so sad. I'm taking a pay cut next month, but I don't want to loose my dreams.

This sucks because I just ordered a steel distrubutor gear through Summit from Crane cams and I think they are the only ones who make them!

I expect Summit has a number of items on the shelf.

I wouldn't give up complete hope about purchasing Crane products just yet. Most likely they will immerge under bankruptcy or be bought by someone else.

I calles Summit just a little while ago and yes they did replace it with a part made by Allied gear. Same size and everything for half the price. Ended up to be a good deal for me in the long run.
