I have read it and these have the machined caps hence why i was considering them.. And the uppers as well which are machined caps and fitted with grease nipples. Was hoping someone had dealt with or tried them as its $50 dollar postage
Bringing total up to £220 for a full set plus import etc
Over double a set from brickwerks who are still out of stock.

I could be interested in a set, or just the uppers. Very disappointed with my Meyle "HD" ones that are already floppy after about 1300 miles, and it would be nice to get rid of the spacers too, particularly after I found out how much someone has ground out of one to make it fit...

I think the UK traders will get some when the production spins up. It is possible that they are already sailing through the pond :)

not sure about the current available ones, but if the cap is machined and not stamped, then it is OK.
the OEM Lemforders were good, but AFAIK they stopped making them

German TK (their Brickwerks ;) ) sells Meyle Hd, Febi and Heyd brand ones
I think TRW ones have machined cap.
