I've got a couple of GENUINE ones..........in NZ

[nate78]

Haha, the set in link look very good, I will order some and see how they are in the flesh

Great find, I've ordered a set of those too, much cheaper than the CBS ones. It's 'only' for the engine cover anyway, I have a genuine CBS one on the front already.

[nate78]

Ive received mine, they seem good, would be good to compare between an aero and mine

I got some of the £16 ones there ok

Still waiting for these to arrive from China. They have airplanes that fly from China now, you don't HAVE to put them on a slow-ass ship.

I bought the cheap chinese ones. They look like they will do the job, the main part that will recess into the bonnet is actually plastic, but it looks sturdy enough. The machined bolt looks like its up to the job.

Mine arrived today, ordered nearly 2 months ago
They came via China, but they're clearly intended for the Japanese market. Definitely not comparable quality to the one I bought off anothe builder here, which was presumably the other half of the CBS two-pack.
The action of the opening isn't as smooth or sharp. The aluminium pieces look to be good quality, and the nuts and screws etc are essentially the same. Didn't come with a paper template for cutting out the shape, just as well I kept the other one.
I plan to use these, if I can figure it out, to seal the engine cover door.

I use these one on mevster think when I iva it I will buy better ones

[mikeeyboy]

Those are exactly the same as mine also. Not the greatest of things but they look like they'll do the job
