Will this make of bearing be any good? - Tony Griffiths - 02-11-2023
Will this make of bearing be any good for my Austin 7 - or might it live up to its maker's initials?

I have always wondered whether these would also live up to their name..?

My personal experience of trade stands is that it's mainly about the biscuits and free biros. I rarely stopped to check who was handing them out!

Translation direct from Carry On Bearings, “we can offer inspection if the customer is strict.” Oooh matron indeed!

I they make the old inch series I would be very carefull. Old stock SKF and RHP bearings are still available and if you are going to complain about cost get your modern serviced

That's really funny, David! At the same that you were denied access to FAGs, children in the city had worked out that the internet filters designed to stop them from looking at naughty things could be defeated if they used Portugese.

Not sure never tried them.
I do not see the point in fitting cheap usually inferior bearings.
All the bearings we require are available from high quality makers so why go cheap ?
I have just changed some rather horrible wheel bearing (made in Singapore) for some RHP 's with metal seals - beautiful.
Do think your humour is about right Tony !
