Any reason for not buying the last two? Apart from the extra cost involved.

I needed a new cambelt and chatted to Alyn at AS Performance.......he sells quite a number of sorts and he recommended an SKF kit. £125 IIRC

Alyn is a more hands on type of retailer and does not list much of his stock on the website Just phone for a chat....... Most stuff arrives next day

no reason just the price, why pay the extra? i cant see the standard run of the mill belt no being up to the job after all the kits shown including the one in my link use spurious bearings.
