Counterfeit brake shoes?
Ordered a set over the phone from a large, well known organisation. Large
green box marked with LUCAS - Made in France. Shoes of such poor quality
that I knew something was wrong immediately. LUCAS/TRW (UK) have now got
the shoes and are checking to see if they have a good case for a
prosecution. Since LUCAS/TRW say they don't make shoes like these for
Sprite/Midget,
it looks like these may indeed be fakes.
JPEGs available for the interested parties. I will be mosst unlikely to
ever buy from this 'large, well known organisation' again if this proves to
be true.
And for reference......
