jake_a Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've done the usual silly bugger thing of buying something off ebay, not opening it for 6 months, and then finding that I'm a little suspicious about whether it is what the listing claimed it was (you'd think I'd learn.....). I bought a vertical link and trunnion which was listed as new (which they are) and original (which I don't think they are). Were stanpart trunnions marked as such? The only marking this has is "SCP RH". Also, the bottom cap isn't brass, which I thought the originals were. What annoys me is that without being able to ID it I wont be able to ensure that I've got a matching part (repro or original) on the other side. Grrrr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 SCP could be SC Parts ? Just a guess . . . . I've seen various markings on original trunnions, they were not entirely consistent through the years. I'll try and find some nos units and snapshot them next week.

TR NIALL Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 We're Original Trunions not all completely Brass.The Repo ones have a Metal Disc in the Bottom,these need to be Sealed or Soldered cos if using EP90 or similar they will Leak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Non originals almost certainly. The Stanpart originals had 2221 and 2222 on them and the later type ,still BL just had LH and RH stamped on them. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
