I Don't know the brand or if your interested in used ones but yours for a fiver plus postage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick101 0 Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks for the heads up. Went with GSF just before you posted. INA £100 with discount and next day delivery. Cheers for the help folks. If this goes t*ts up I'll try someone else. Ebay link doesn't seem to work tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 27, 2012 And make sure they are actually INA before using them. Look inside the bucket and it's stamped inside. GSF have sold unbranded ones before and they're basically just paper weights. You could have just sanded your existing tappets with 600 grit wet and dry if they were quiet ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainredeye 0 Posted September 27, 2012 It worked this morning strange! The chaps eBay name is Lear-industries if any one fancies a look remember you have to ask for ina at an extra cost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick101 0 Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah thats the slight worry I have. From Eurocarparts 3 were INA, 5 were pattern and 4 were completely the wrong size. The parts were sent in an old plastic bag. Clearly pick n mixed!! Unfortunatley two tappets are spongy. Thought best to just replace all of them for piece of mind. I'll try lear-industries if this fails which Im hoping not!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick101 0 Posted September 30, 2012 The bits arrived the other day relieved to say all were INA. Tappets and new cams are in and started this morning with great success! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
