Vintage Bendix Brake Lining Gauge With Box And Instructions 73846 1970s Tool on 2040-parts.com

This is an original 1970s period brake lining gauge made by Bendix, part number 73846.  This tool comes with the original box that is tattered and dirty and the instructions, which are also dirty but very readable.  The tool is in excellent condition.  The box tab has an identification number of SC-72 which very likely indicates a year of 1972.  Buyer to pay shipping according to our listed policy.

Carsntiques shipping and handling policy

We, at Carsntiques, are committed to making each and every Ebay transaction a positive experience.  We work hard to describe each item carefully and add adequate pictures.  We strive to answer questions quickly and completely.  We then take special pride in packaging carefully and tightly within the container in order to minimize chances for damage during shipping.  Based on past experience, we do not encourage the use of USPS parcel post shipping, but do often leave it as an option as a cost saving, but at the buyer’s risk.  Buyers are responsible for adding insurance and we recommend such for fragile items.  Please note that when we list an item, we include a weight estimate so you can have an approximate cost of shipping prior to bidding.  But we would recommend that, after winning one of our auctions, you wait with payment until we package the item and then send an invoice.  We try to estimate the boxed weight accurately but sometimes the final weight will differ some, hopefully to your benefit.  Sometimes we find that another service will save money, such as using FedEx ground instead of USPS.  We reserve the right to make such a change to the shipping provider in these instances.  Ebay’s shipping calculators are not always accurate as well as we have seen where Ebay has greatly inflated the shipping in the listing for the weight we enter.  We do feel, however, that quality packaging is more important than saving a few pennies.  Thus, because of the cost of quality packaging, we reserve the right to add $1.00 to the shipping amount to cover the cost of tape, boxes, packing materials, and labels.  Check our feedback – we get great reviews on our pride in packaging.  Items sold to customers in Nebraska are subject to 7% sales tax.

 

Note:  If you have a problem with anything (product quality, packaging, etc.) please contact us and allow us to correct the problem.  We will most likely ask you to file a claim through Ebay and, if we did miss something (we are only human), we will most likely either have the item shipped back or offer a refund.  We do NOT knowingly list damaged or items that are not working without telling you about any defects.  We try to closely inspect all items and take pictures of any damage.  Occasionally, however, we do miss something and will absolutely address that in a reasonable manner.  

Thanks for your interest in our auctions.  We value your business.  Bob & Dottie
