Hi Simon,

If you google that QH part number, you'll see that it's not just Moss that
uses it, but a number of other suppliers as well. Would be interesting to
see what packaging they come in and where it says "Made in ..."

Happy Healeying,

Rick Neville, aka "HealeyRick"

Well, I did a bit more research=E2=80=A6actually in my own files and =
came up with this, below, from Roger Moment:-

QUOTE

From:         [email-masked] =

Sent:        17 March 2002 16:02

Subject:    king pins

=20

A while back I posted a note alerting folks to the problem with some =
=E2=80=9Cgeneric=E2=80=9D kingpins that Moss was selling at the time.  =
They were a BEAR to install and required much modification of the =
bushings to even provide proper lubrication.

I spoke with Michael Grant at Moss and he was very concerned about the =
problem.  Subsequently he has re-sourced their kingpins from someone in =
England who has the tooling and, I believe, supplied Quintin Hazel.  =
That is, the product the new source is providing is EXACTLY like the Q-H =
kingpins that had been available in the past.

I have just finished installing one of these new sets and am happy to =
report that they are really GREAT!!!  They have the properly machined =
bushings, sized to go in with just the proper =E2=80=9Ccrush=E2=80=9D, =
and the correct cork rings.  Plus the zirc fittings have the correct =
size threads and hex.  The fulcrum pins even fit the bottom hole in the =
king pin properly and don=E2=80=99t require additional fussing.

The new box these king pins come in is still plain brown, but it has the =
following markings on it:

1) a blue-white-red Union Jack with MADE IIN GREAT BRITAIN

2) a white tag with QHQP295TCF and KING PIN SET BIG HEA and MADE IN =
:U.K.

=20

I believe Moss has replaced their older, poor-quality stock and the new =
ones are what you=E2=80=99ll receive if you order now.  If you have some =
of the bad ones that you haven=E2=80=99t installed, I suggest you =
contact Moss about trying to exchange them.

And finally, for those of you who like to flame suppliers when parts =
aren=E2=80=99t perfect, be aware that many time suppliers do care, but =
need to get proper input as to problems.  I am very impressed with the =
way Moss responded to this issue.

Remember that the parts business is very competitive regarding price, =
which drives suppliers to look for the cheapest parts to sell.  Many of =
you will change suppliers over a few cents savings and that hurts those =
who may have better parts at higher prices.  You often get what you pay =
for.  Just remember.

Roger

That just about covers it!?!

As to using a QH part number..debatable but not too serious.
