Paul,
Sorry to hear your tale of woe. I learned my lesson the hard way about VB and
mission critical components early on. Nigel should be able to help, probably
Ted Schumacher and British Parts Northwest maybe.
Take care,

Subject: I know you're all sick of this vibration crap!
Sorry... me again... :-)
Well I just received a pile of parts from VB.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!
* clutch pressure plate position press
pins is half the length of the others
* 6 of the 50 laygear bearings are
RUSTY! You can see the pits in them with
the naked eye and easily feel them with
your finger nail!
*The tranny pilot bushing (in the crank end)
is about 3/16" shorter and the old one!
Needless to say it's all going back!
OK so my real reason for this rant....
Who out there still bothers to carry the proper
'quality' parts! Nigel?
...sorry all. Just a bit pissed here.
