...Another eBay joker!
I bought a new EBC clutch kit from purecarpartz a couple of weeks back for £40 (inc postage), got the delivery 4-5 days later, opened the box and all 3 clutch parts were rattling around loose, the only protection was thin grease proof paper
When I opened the EBC box, I was inspecting the clutch and cover, I noticed that I was stamped F&S (Fitchel and Sachs)
Excuse my ignorance, but have I been taken for a ride

To be completely honest, most aftermarket clutch kits are made by sachs, the packaging sounds normal compared to the kits I've fitted in the past.
most tend to retain the std clutch cover and you get an alternative friction material plate thats the only real difference
And a fancy printed box instead of a fairly plain one.
The cover and plate are both stamped F&S, in comparison to the clutch I took out (which was also F&S) they are 99% identical.Originally Posted by mikey14sr
If anyone has bought an EBC clutch kit in the past please let me know, failing that I will try and get in touch with EBC themselves to verify it's genuine...

I've had 3 EBC clutches over the years. Packaging sounds normal. They are OK. Nothing special but my local factors does them really cheap with no need to return the old unit or pay surcharge.
They are re-lined old units anyway with a release bearing thrown in.
That's pretty shocking really, as I'm sure they go for around £100 RRP. I thought I had myself a bargin at £30+postage!!!
Oh well, I haven't been robbed
