Superflex is a UK manufacturer, indeed it's Chris Witor's company, he of all the Triumph spares. He actually lives very modestly and ploughs his money back into the company developing new parts all the time. So we all ought to support him whenever we can Smile

yes good stuff,

avoid flo-flex or what ever hes called this year poor fit/quality & poor service,
refuse to fit/use if supplied & not just on cortinas.

just saying as a warning as the company has changed names at least due to problems with their products.

Chris,today I fitted the set I had from you last week. No problems really, except that as you said, the steel bush is slightly too long, and as I had to cut off the old bolts, I fitted 12mm new ones, so had to drill out the holes in the arm.
About two hours work.
Cheers

I thought that spring wouldn't fit. I don't know what CP did with the old one, or why he bought those odd ones, and he is very vague about the job in general!
He's still got my brake shoes on his van too!
