    I have been using them since 1978 and have never really had a problem with the gear I have bought off them - has generally been the same quality as I have received from other suppliers.

    I'm pleased to hear that. I was beginning to think that I was some sort of favourite customer who was getting special treatment.

    Actually they did treat me pretty well when I called in to fit a new radiator in their yard on the way up to the Gibb River Road in the Series III. I figured it was better to do that than have the radiator freighted up to me at Yass. They lent me a drill to fix a hole that didn't quite line up and my wife and I even got a cup of tea at smoko time.

    Their parts catalogue is great. For some jobs it is almost as good as having the workshop manual.

    How can you tell the difference between Chinese and Indian?

    All I know is that the bearings they sell are unbranded to manufacturer and country of manufacture, even though they categorically stated that they would be Japanese when I asked prior to purchase. Every English, USA, German or Japanese bearing I have ever bought from a bearing supplier, has always had some sort of marking indicating make and country.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    .
    Sniff them, then it's easy to tell them apart.
    Curry smelling ones are definitely Indian.
    Black bean and flied lice are the Chinese ones.

    The bearing I bought from them for the back of the 5th gear shaft in the R380 had the same name and part number as the original.

    RHP (Ransom, Hoffman and Pollard), UK manufacture, I believe.

    The last ones I got off them were for a Series gearbox and were in nice little sealed unbranded plastic bags with only a number and nothing else on the actual bearing.

    Oh for the days when we got bearings engraved "TIMKEN" "ENGLAND" or "NSK" "JAPAN"

    It would be nice if they actually carried some of the series 1 parts that appear in the award winning catalogue, I'm a little annoyed at the "no we don't have that "replies.

    The sad fact is series 1 OEM NOS are getting scarce.
    After market series parts are limited and of mediocre quality.
    Just about all parts that are superceded are farmed off to
    cheaper manufactures that's the way it is.........Mark
