Hi,

Has anyone used or heard of these guys?

ebay link

They seem to sell end of line OBP pedal boxes, have a registered address at OBP, but it's not the official OBP eBay account. Also the email address is a little different and the web address loads up a Chinease page. I emailed Mark at OBP but got an out of office.

Anyone know if they're legit? I'd like to order the box which should fit in the Fury but don't want to end up with some cheap replica.

Ta
Jon

Very suspect IMO. The picture appears to show a pedal box for hydraulic clutch and throttle! Bit weird! Second thoughts it's for three hydraulic cylinders but the left brake M/c holes are greyed out. Still weird.

If looks like a duck and cuacks like a duck...
I´d be wary if looks fishy.
If you buy and get ripped you´d be pissed for some time.
If you go to a secure vendor you will not regret spending a couple extra pounds...

Yeah agree doesn't look right. Just struggling to find something that works with the old Fury Chassis. Can't be floor mounted as the floor slopes, and needs to be narrow.

Even this one requires the old mounts cut out, a plate welded in and some holes cut.

OBP are a trader on here so might appreciate a heads up?

On the ebay ad - l**@obp.uk.net

Put it this way... this is being offered as a kit. If the two (Girling? - ca. £50-60 ea) m/cyls are included in the kit, then I'd take one of these simply for the hydraulics, then pass on the remainder...

Yup looks like a great deal, assuming it's not a cheap knock off.

Well I emailed OBP and apparently this account is for OBP clearance stock. (And other crap, looking at the feedback history.)

So I've ordered it. Anyone used the OBP own brand master cylinders? Are they ok or similar to the willwood ones?
