Remember this is essentially the same manifold that is on his site for £1,175.00

However, i do not take this lightly so we've spoken to another supplier who we've worked with in the past and we will be re-releasing our 4-1 and I will sell it a massive loss just to make a point.
£200 each, incl VAT.

Bottom line I dont want to do this but being faced with the kind of activity that Tullet have done there is only one way to fight back - at their wallets.
I do not agree with doing things that way. Yes, to some extent that is business but not in my book, so I either go away and cry about it or I do something about it, its not about money its about honour and if the only thing they care about is money over ones word then I'll fight in a manner that they will understand.
The beneficiaries will be owners who will get a cheap manifold at the same quality as before, this will cost TMS a few pounds but I feel happier knowing that and knowing that Tullet will get what they deserve - nothing.
So we'll see just how true to his word Thorney is 😉
For the record Chris Tullett did absolutely nothing whatsoever wrong, but Thorney can't stand anyone else having the tiniest chunk of his pie. So he's made a somewhat rash statement, so is either going to stand by his word and cost himself many tens of thousands of pounds or no manifolds will ever appear and he's going to look silly 🙂
