Default I'm sorry if this is you but people do sell junk on Ebay

just look at the 3rd picture, should be ashamed of yourself, no regard for safety or what?

"OK Condition. Item has some rust as photographed" . . . . has some rust . . . . master of the understatement

what an appalling sight, and the rank cheek to ask 40 quid for what is useless and dangerous.

well others seem happy with the stuff they get from the seller.
Goodness knows why they think that part is acceptable to sell

Considering this is available for just over £30 more.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303738006...75.c101224.m-1

Downside being if these are the poor quality replacements they will need reworking if you're hoping they will last 13 months or more. The paint finishing is dreadful.

Even cheaper at DMGRS, their own brand, no reworking required, better paint & thicker steel. Personally, I've got more faith in DMGRS' than I'll ever have in the Xpart "Genuine Part" ones.

I had a couple of chats with bas in Bradford before, one of our not so welcoming scrapyard people.

They are on my block list for good reason, I wanted a very small item a couple of months ago which would easily have fitted in a small (tiny) jiffy bag, he still wanted £7 postage for second class postage and it was f**king take it or f**k off, so I did.

Postage on this is £12, take my advice and use the block filter.

Not a nice person at all so seeing this is no surprise to me, I think it's one of the places our local taxi firms must get their parts from ...

Be warned people.

Oh and I did report him to eBay because of the profanity, nothing has happened though but did I really expect it to?
