WE ALL LIKE A BARGIN ,AND THE NORTON COMMANDO STANCHIONS ON EBAY LOOK GREAT VALUE AT £38...
I VISITED JOHN JONES THIS MORNING TO DROP OFF A LANSDOWNE KIT, JOHN IS A GREAT G50 RACER,AND A GOOD ENGINNER....WE UNWRAPPED THE DOMMIE TUBES, "EBAY PURCHASE" TO BE HONEST THEY LOOK GOOD...BUT THE TOP THREADS ARE VERY POOR,
MY ALLOY TOP NUTS WOULD NOT FIT, ONE STANCHION THREAD WAS VERY POORLY CUT, WE COULD SEE THE EXCESSIVE BURS AND FEEL THEM!
THE OTHER HAD A BETTER THREAD FORM, AND MY TOP NUT "JUST STARTED! IN,BUT BEGAN CUTTING ANOTHER THREAD,SPEWING OUT A SLIVER OF ALLOY.
BUT HERES THE BIG BUT..THE RETAILER OFF THESE HAD SUPPLIED TWO PAIRS OF COMMANDO STANCHIONS TO JOHN TICKLE [FORUM MEMBER] AND MY TOP NUTS FITTED SPOT ON...SO WHAT GOING ON? TWO SETS GREAT,NICE FORMED THTREADS,,THE OTHER ...TOTAL RUBBISH.
SO ITS A BLEEDIN POT LUCK POSITION......THESE EBAY SELLERS ARE BUYING ANY OLD RUBBISH AND NOT EVEN CHECKING THEM,, NOT EVEN UNWRAPPING THEM!....JUST TAKING A QUICK BUCK AND GIVING OWNERS GREIF. SEND THEM BACK AND DEMAND THE POSTAGE,,IT WILL SOON IMPROVE QUAILITY, AND DONT LISTEN TO THE EXCUSS,," WE FOR £38, WHAT DO YOU WANT" ,,JUST REPLY..."WELL WAS MY MONEY SUB-STANDARD?
