Post by libraryboy »

got a bit of a conundrum and was hoping for some advice. :?: .

I'd get them from brickwerks personally, they are GKN. Others are not very good from what you read on here

As lloydy said brickwerks are the way to go the others dont last ! Plus makes sure all the proper special washers are in place!

I have used gsf ones one my trials buggy, they are made by lobro a gkn company and have been reliable so far running at a very acute angle ( the buggy is jacked as far as I dare go, the joints are running at 27 degrees so I would have no worries about using them on a standard T25, hope that helps

Problem with gsf is that they change suppliers, or stock two different suppliers, so it can be pot luck what you get. brickwerks only stock the good ones. Yours are the good ones
