I have had no end of problems with reproduction trunnions supplied by
various firms. it seems they are all made in the same Indian or Chinese
back-yard and come via the UK wholesalers. They have  a distinctive polished
 look to them, suggesting they are not a good bronze, but rather brass. The
casting is very poor, the oiling slot is not correctly made, the cap that
stops the oil dripping out is not fitted correctly (so it leaks), and worst
of all, the thread is so sloppy, they are worse than 30 year old Triumph
ones.
If someone has a source of genuine or quality left hand ones, pls let me
know
