Manufacture of new Swivel Pins

[M25VAN]

Is this the Horse from the old stable or the new stable at ESM?
I see they have some info now on their News page...

This is from the original supplier and not ESM. I doubt that ESM will continue with their manufacture once these new kingpins are on sale. There will be a production run of 1000 pairs of legs, should keep us all happy for a while, and really negates the need for an alternative supplier.

Very good news

Very good news Jonathon, but just remember the old saying, ..... all your eggs in one basket .... ..

Without wishing to put a "downer" on it, we've had the same promises before and have been waiting over a year. I'll believe it only when I have a new pair or two of pins in my own hands. Until then, regardless of the reputation of the retailer, I'll remain heartily sceptical.

Not against anyone else producing the swivel pins if they so wish, just seems a total waste of resources though when there are so many other parts that present worse issues. I have no ties whatsoever with the supplier of the swivel pins, despite mutterings from some that I have.
We will just have to see if they are true to their word, if not and ESM do produce their own then there will be a supply in May anyway, unless of course we are sceptical of them too.

To be honest, I'm skeptical of anyone giving me any date for swivel pin availability...
