[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 81011, member: 58"] Jim Hunter Engineering in UK makes the knee pads in decent rubber. My brother recently bought a pair from him. Bob Stafford used to get them made somewhere and it may have been from Jim. Here is a website with Jim's details. Its not his website and is a few years out of date: [URL]http://www.barnstormers.co.nz/barnstormers/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Jeff-Hunter-PDF.pdf[/URL] The quality of the Indian made ones is unknown, but I have bought footrest rubbers from India as a quality trial and they cracked and split within a year. I believe the gearbox internal gears are the same apart from the way some post war gears run on bronze bushes on the layshaft where the pre war boxes the gears run direct on the shafts. Maybe sombody else could confirm that. [/QUOTE]
