Redmond Casting MIA??
Discussion
Just wanted to check in and listen if someone knows what has happened to JR Cast, John Redmond Metalcasting in Ireland (jrcast.com).
I have tried to call and email many times over the last few months without success.
The web site seems down from yesterday, but the Facebook pages seem active. Both for John Redmond private and the company which seem to go by “842 Rockercovers” there.
There is no company in Ireland registered under either name in that area. Can't find them on any web site or via reverse lookup. And not on any map.
I ordered and paid for cast valve covers to my TVR in January 2022 but still have not seen any covers. Last correspondence was in May with a confirmation that they were indeed made and should be shipped. Then nothing.
Last known contact details from public web site are;
E-mail; john@jrcast.com
Intl Phone: 00353 87 767 0457
Phone: 087 7670457
Office: Oldtown, default Navan, Irleand
He seems to use the name “smeeagainwex” on Ebay but not active there either.
All info welcome as I have paid for them and will need them this coming winter.
Best regards

There are numerous messages posted on his Facebook page complaining about delays, goods not sent, failure to refund payment, failure to respond to messages, etc. These complaints date back a couple of years, so when you paid in January it appears that this was already a known problem.
"Still awaiting zetec cover from over 12 months ago ???????" plus several replies and other messages along the same lines.
A Whois search on the website name shows :
Expires on : 26/8/2022

so they appear to be still running the website, which is active and viewable today.
The UK based website hosting company is register365.com, whose website shows a contact number of 01 5255768 ; that looks too short but appears to be correct. Perhaps if you contact them, they would be willing to provide a contact number or address, but I suspect they will decline on data protection grounds.
Failing that, I suggest contacting the nearest Trading Standards office.

. Could you give news when you will have installed it ? I would like to see what you will have to do with the alternator bracket, and maybe other things.
