Mr. Espey instills little confidence in his products when he doesn't know 
himself the manner in which they deviate from factory spec. Incorrectly 
admitting to, and defending, a non existant excessive extension lenght as a 
"feature" sounds like a defense someone at a computer Software Company would 
employ. Additional spin control by implying modifications and altered door 
geometry is also a fine tactic. 

Admitting your blunder and compensating all affected would be the honorable 
thing to do. But then profit vs principle becomes the issue. Credit is due 
for the forthcoming nature of Mr. Espey's and Delorean Motor Company's 
admission as the source. But what does or does not happen next will tell even 
more....
