I doubted that any big suppliers would have QH sets on their shelf and I furthermore doubted that, if they did have them, they’d need to flog them on eBay…..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyhow, you’ll see that they’re giving it a Quentin Hazell part number which I don’t think is appropriate as I suspect that it’s not QH.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I queried:- “<span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#231F20'>Is this a genuine Q Hazell item?
