Not cheap as you can see, and there was definately some suspicious bidding going on (check out bidder 8) but as they were advertised as 'NEW' this was ok, when they came (from a bloke called Peter masquerading as 'ashfieldmotorsport.co.uk' they were used, infact, well worn!

The transfer pipe had been taken off one of them, two bleed nipples were missing, they had brake dust encrusted on the underside, the steel bits were corroded, the fixing bolts were rounded off, they had been very badly tarted up using black and white paint and as an email came through from the bloke who sold them denying they were used I noticed dirty brake fluid running out of one of them!

He charged me £15 to send them, It'll cost the same to send them back and he's threatening to deduct the Paypal fee of £15 (plus I'll get it knocked off at my end too if/when he reimburses me) So I've lost out to over £45

He's now sending me nasty emails saying that I'm ripping people off and that there's nothing wrong with them.....

Watch out for this joker and don't get caught out like I did, the only winners here are Ebay and Paypal and they don't give a toss.

Ahhhhh, that feels a little better.
they look like they've been painted by a 2 year old

lets wait for the other side of the story before we start preaching, the pf jury won't return a verdict just yet, but i have heard some fairly dubious tales regarding a certain asford motorsport in the past, but this was a good few years ago, like 10 years ago so perhaps things have changed since then
