FMS Car Parts

Sorry to hear.

I have not heard of them till now and to be honest there are a couple of good established companies around and cannot think of a single reason not to use one of them.

 

What do you need. I have a driver side tail lamp grille for Testarossa/512TR

Do you not like the SKF bearings?

 

if those SKF bearings are original SKF you would not have a problem
but may be you got "replica" SKF bearing? so only the name is on the bearings but not produced by SKF?
the original package has a hologram

 

That is why I asked. The world market today produces lots of "replica" parts. If it is a real SKF then it will perform as good or better than Hill. Just make sure its real.

 

2 problems with that.

Ricambi has the sole US rights to sell Hill parts. Even if FMS had them he would have been buying from Ricambi. If you want a Hill product in the US you really need to go to Ricambi to get it.


Hill does not make a tensioner bearing for the TR. SKF is what there is, it is a great product and no reason to reinvent the wheel here.

 

I just called my main distributor because of how we could see if it would be original SKF or rebuilt.
we have here now after 5 pm friday and nearly no one who could tell me is working anymore. I try again on munday

 

I may be wrong, but SKF boxes I have seen look diffrent than that...

 

Are we going to create more internet paranoia here or just buy some parts and fix a ****ing car?

Everyone who thinks they are fake bearings raise your hand and explain.

I'd really like to hear more about the box. Whats wrong with it?


Jesus Christ you guys

get a clue.


If you all got off the internet and dealt with some real live established, knowledgeable, experienced suppliers and repair shops you would get the right parts and the right information instead of a bunch of ill informed bull**** from internet experts who have gone a long way in creating more bad information, disinformation and wives tales than all the prior idiocy of the prior 50 years.

 

Agree.

Brian,
In principle, you are right.
but I have here my own shop and even some distributors I get parts from delivered "rebuilt" parts to me.
and 50 years ago the chinese have not been on the market. now they copy nearly all, with less knowledge and poor base material - that is the problem and has nothing to do with the internet. only positive thing of the internet is now that all know what kind of sh.t is on the market

 

My local bearing supplier can supply me with the BA2B bearing. However, it is not made by SKF. It is though, made by a couple of very reputable bearing manufacturers.

Brian, I have seen many SKF bearings and the boxes they came in. I have not seen a box like that from SKF. I said I might be wrong so get the F@#K off your high horse with your insults. Maybe you are not aware that the Chinese are manufacturing fake SKF bearings?

FYI....with your attitude, you are the last person I would ever take any car to......

Anti-counterfeiting -A widespread industry

Counterfeit products are an issue for all branded bearing manufacturers. They exist in all geographical markets, in all industrial segments and for all bearing types and sizes. Seals and grease products are also affected.
.
Customers are being cheated

Counterfeit bearings and other counterfeit products are usually low-cost, no name products. They are illegally labeled and marketed with another company's brand, and placed in packaging that appears identical to genuine packaging used by the brand owner. Counterfeit bearings are sold to unsuspecting customers, usually around the same price as genuine products.

Machinery breakdowns and possible injuries

The risks for the customer can be serious. Counterfeit bearings may cause machinery breakdowns, costly production stoppages and injuries to people.
.

Raising awareness

SKF continuously communicates with customers and authorized distributors to spread the knowledge about counterfeits and how to avoid being cheated. More information is also available in the brochure "Where are your bearings coming from?"

SKF actively assists local law enforcement authorities in taking action against this illegal trade. Successful raids and closed businesses do great harm to the counterfeit trade.
SKF and other bearing manufacturers work together through the World Bearing Association (WBA). WBA is currently investing in a global information campaign against counterfeiting. Learn more on the Stop Fake Bearings ? World Bearing Association campaign site.

.

Call to action
The best way to safeguard product authenticity is to source SKF products through SKF authorized sources.

If you believe that you have accidentally purchased a counterfeit, or would like to anonymously inform us of activity in this area, contact SKF at [email protected]. Staff from SKF Group Headquarters will handle your mail with confidentiality.

 

thanks for the informative video

 

You are welcome romano....

 

There are a lot of fakes in Europe and I only deal with the parts that come in manufacturers boxes with the hologram.

For the price it is just not worth the risk despite the hype. IMO
