Anyone used these for anything?
I'm looking at getting a 106 xsi for a fastroad/track car, so I've been hunting around for some bits and pieces.

Their catch tanks seem well priced, just wondered if anyone had experience with them? Quality etc?

Got one of their hydraulic handbrakes and seems good quality from having it in my hand. Car isn't working yet so can't tell you anymore than that!

Ive had a few pedal boxes and hyd. h/brakes from them that were decent quallity. Remember you get what you pay for so they are never going to match the quality of....say a tilton or AP item.
What i would say is that the budget/entry level range of things like that are worth avoiding as they really arent suitable for anything road going imo.

Cheers for the advice guys.
Who would you recommend for a half decent oil catch tank? I'm only after a litre pot really.

Yes the pedal arm bent and the base it was mounted to bowed out of shape.
I have legs that make Twiglets look fat too

Tilton for pedal box - the quality and performance is 10 times that of the OBP/Compbrake stuff.
