All the exhaust are on the shelf
Have been for a little while.
Holiday season, don't think Michael has put the petrol stuff on yet, but we do have them.
Plus we've moved and stating to use new software so it's all a bit wierd at the moment.
Best to e-mail.

i fitted one to riches van a little while ago and so far its been ok. that said i think if you`re paying that sort of money for them you have to assume some of the risk.
ps. it didnt blow up on the strata bomb hole like some cv joints did.

If their okay quality for that kinda money, personally I think its qiute good to have a cheap, weaker link in your expensive drive-train.
Perhaps Simon would donate a pair to the Breslau project, for some road testing!!

Shipping is as always at cost.
Just a shame it costs so much.
Quite happy to box them up and you arrange your own courier.

Well, they landed a couple of days ago.
Not had chance to have a proper look as yet buy I did have a minute so I tried to fit the pressed stel ring that holds the extra seal as found on bonafide Syncro cv joints.
It won't fit.
Surprise surprise.
So, already we're down to road only use.
Boot is very soft rubber.
Not sure at the moment I would want them on my own van,nthe steel ring for the seal is properly slack, now to me if your going to copy something you copy it properly, it just makes me wonder if that dimension is wrong then what else is.
The machining is not amazing, the supplied hardware is a bit cheesy, the nut is not a quality item, but they are a quarter of the cost.
I want to try some before I sell them I think, I'm not that confident in them looking at them.
