Gentlemen,

I stumbled today upon this item on Ebay no. 111416985025.

Someone seems to be aware of "our" needs?????

Cheers,

I have the feeling that I am looking at a photo of an original cover?

That certainly looks like a NOS gearbox cover...'Royal Crusaders' (which you can see written over the photos) are an Indian supplier and I have to say a lot of what they produce doesn't look too clever...
Some items are plainly incorrect...

You have no way of knowing whether what you are looking at is what you will actually get or if this is or isn't the product..

As it is plainly of Indian origin I would imagine there will be all the usual issues regarding materials and dimensional accuracy...

The only repro cases I have seen previously are the ones with the 'piled arms' cast into the front face (I have one of those) and they were very crudely manufactured...I'm not sure where...

Personally I won't be rushing to buy this item....Ian

The fact that there is so much c..p coming out of India (and on ebay), from :

Royal Crusaders
Royal Spares
Vintage India
Bulletwalla
Classicspareparts
Vintageautospares

and others (all the same mob), which seem to appear weekly, has made it a selling point at Jumbles, if you label it as "Not made in India". Anything that can be copied, WILL be copied. Buyer beware, you probably won't get a good deal, and probably won't get any response to complaints or queries.

It's not just BSA parts, they also make loads of bits for other marques, all similar quality.

Rick, what does 'HMCW' stand for ? 'Her Majesty's Common-Wealth' ?

Edit...

I was almost right. It could quite possibly be 'Hindustan Malleable Casting Works' in Jaipur !

How is 3D printing getting on ?
How far away are we from ordering our parts at the local printshop ??
