matters not where you get them I believe they all come from the same place. Poor quality which,if like mine will blister after about two years. Not much you can do about it. Other than nos,if you can find any or find somewhere to do your old ones.The only chrome work on mine which has lasted after repros are the bumperblades.All the rest ' hinges, handles have blistered.

I think that all the suppliers get the casting from the same place, but then there are different standards of chroming. I have found David Manners to offer the best quality chrome on new parts.

Thanks all,
Have ordered a set as mine were no longer serviceable, broken studs and very sloppy hinge pins.
Cheers
