Delphi Knuckle joints ??

[STG95F]

Hi , Just purchased some " Delphi Knuckle joints " , but they arrived just in a plastic bag .

Has anyone had these joints and how do they come packaged and do they have Delphi marking/stamping ? to tell if you have the real deal ?

Thanks in advance

Can't comment on Mini Knuckle Joints as such, but I've used Delphi bits in the past on my Land Rover and as far as I can recall all the bits I've bought came in Delphi branded boxes.

Ok Thank you , I thought the same to be honest

The ones i have received just don't look and feel quality , and came in a plain plastic bag , not a Delphi one as most of there part do

Also the machining on the end the joint ( where it fits into the trumpet ) is not even machined square

sounds like someone has been factoring into Delphi boxes..........

or counterfeit boxes

[STG95F]

No Rich , i did not receive them in Delphi boxes , I can understand them been removed for postage etc , but the plastic bags are just plain and the quality just looks crap

I brought Delphi knuckle joints for my GTM and they came in branded boxes. also Delphi are good quality, as close to OP you will get.

So called "Mini specialist " , through Ebay

I have been in contact with Delphi and sent them photos of the knuckles and they said 100% not Delphi products . just cheap crap

One to watch out for

can you post the sellers details here so we know to avoid.

[STG95F]

I thought i would hold back on name dropping to start , but if its Ok to name and shame ?

[mk1]

Please do.

The seller obviously has no qualms about passing stuff of, so the more people who know the better.

[STG95F]

Yes i totally agree
