I do not mention any manufacturers or suppliers unless they have supplied me with free or heavily discounted goods or services. It is unfair on the companies that have supplied cheap parts to mention other companies that have not given me anything. I also remove or cover any company names on my parts where ever it is practical to do so. Why should I advertise for free?
