Default release bearings...

i ordered an AP 4 paddle clutch kit from burton power yesterday and it arrived to day. i opened the box to make sure it was def the same it and the clutch and cover plate looked spot on.
but....... when i had a look at the release bearing it looks complelty different.

has any1 seen this type before?? ive emailed AP Racing the pictures so will have to see what they say but i need to know asap

personally i think the new release bearing doesnt look as strong and poorly made


the new release bearing is on the left

Looks tha same as my AP release bearing mate.
But never got to try it cos I had a later gearbox and needed the bigger bearing, had to buy one from ford.
