For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

Whats the price then Rob ?
Have you got a pic of one and can confirm (again)
that this is the right one and not some ECP/BMW/QC hybrid !
How does the 034 one compare in stiffness etc ? Listed at under $60 even with shipping would come in cheaper
Not being funny Rob just being a tight a***e thinking I can save around £25 squid !

034 one dosent look right to me. Not had one to look at.
Price will be around what I said before. Not $46! tells me again it isn't correct..
No ECP/BMW/QC hybrid here!

So I did order a Meyle propshaft bearing for the BMW but Meyle does not sell these anymore so got the Febi/Bilstein item. This was for my 90 quattro type 85 btw.
Since I had to replace the clutch on my car I thought I would fit the bearing just because the propshaft had to come off anyway. Well I did not fit it since it's a sloppy item as has been described on here. After 30 years the OE item felt more substantial than the new BMW part!
I think I will fill the back of the rubber with some Sikaflex and fit it at a later date. Keeping the OE item as a spare as I read comments about the BMW part being noisy.
For my other 90 and 4000 quattro I would like to order the Powertrain Industries item, where would be the best place to order these? Maybe a GB would be worth it?

Filled the sloppy BMW (Febi) propshaft bearing, this should stiffen it up:Comment

So whats the latest on the center bearing, any suppliers of decent parts rather than the BMW one? I found the original unit has the part number 8A0-521-113, and with a bit of searching i found an Audi A8 one 4D0-521-113 which looks right on this page http://www.propshaftrepairs.com/audi...ef-4d0-521-113 Anybody know for sure?
Found some new CV joints with the correct boots, Mapco part number 16056 for an Alfa 145/146/155/156/166/GTV/Spider. Probably fits a Granada too

Those CV joints look good and are only €30 I see online. Would be good to know the dimensions of the A8 centre bearing part and compare that to the S2 item. Anyone got an OEM S2 bearing to measure?Originally posted by mcandmar View PostSo whats the latest on the center bearing, any suppliers of decent parts rather than the BMW one?

Lol OK I hadn't realised it was all secretive...Originally posted by GT500 View Post
So can we presume there is a healthy margin on them then if its a single source and single seller, I can imagine that would be the only reason to keep it all hush hush

Not a healthy margin but the supplier only deals with trade companies. If I sort a few for the fellas on here then I get a nice warm feeling that I helped.Originally posted by s2driveruk View PostLol OK I hadn't realised it was all secretive...

I have sent them all over the world and that is harder than you think! Lots of stupid paperwork/phone calls.Rob..

I had to go to a man, who knew a man, who knew someone else's man and got this. I think he said its Made in Britain even. I think i pm'd GT500 ages ago about getting one but don't think i got a response, so i hunted one down myself 
Think i must have piled a 1000 miles on already with no issues.1995 Audi S2 AvantComment
