Bob: The last time I ordered any from BPNW they were oriental knock-offs. I get
my u-joints from Moss now, and they are supplying Hardy Spicer' in the green
and black box now. In fact they have been for months. The big three suppliers
all deal together when they order most stuff so they can get better discounts,
and often sell to each other. I have often called my salesman at Moss and had
him give me a delivery date, and checked with TRF and gotten the same date. In
another instance I received a part from Moss and had TRF or V.B. labels on the
bag. But, for now, Moss does supply Hardy Spicer u-joints. - Ed
