Counterfeit Warning

Some auction websites currently have hundreds of parts that look like Function7 products. In the several cases, these counterfeit products, which usually come as part of a kit, were accompanied by photocopied instruction sheets that bear the old Function7 logo and company information, in an attempt to pass these inferior products off as official Function7 products.

These counterfeit products do not offer the precision, safety and quality people expect from Function7. In fact, most are not good quality parts and will fail safety tests by any standard.

We at Function7, our distributors, and our retailers have received many complaints from consumers who have purchased these parts thinking they were getting a great deal when actually, in the end, they were getting swindled.

If a part or kit is up for auction or straight sale at a price that's a fraction of what a new or used Function7 part would typically sell for, chances are it's not a genuine Function7 component. As the old saying goes," If something seems to good to be true, it probably is." The best protection against being cheated or disappointed is to buy your new (or used) Function7 products from an authorized Function7 retailer.

Feel free to email us and we can help you identify what is a genuine Function7 product or what is a counterfeit item. To locate your nearest authorized Function7 dealer, please consult the dealer locator here on our website.

Counterfeit flanges on left vs the genuine Function7 flange on the right.
Notice the casting void in the counterfeit flange in the center of the picture.


Close-up of a counterfeit flange that was unwittingly purchased by a customer. The hole you see is a void (bubble) that occurred during casting resulting in a flange that is very easily broken. ALL Function7 products are CNC machined out of solid billet aluminum and NOT cast in molds like this one.
