    Lemfoerder is well known, Flennor is to me mainly known for belt systems etc., but maybe they have expanded or bought another company.

    thanks. I've searched and I've read that already. It wasn't anything informative so I figured I'd ask here.

    Meh, with the amount of labor I hate to skimp on this stuff, also considering how much it affects how it drives.

    I'd do Lemforder, but have no experience with the other guy.

    Ditto - this topic has been flogged into mush by now, and still no one seriously advocates using anything but Lemforder, right?

    I understand that. But I wanted to see if people have actually tried flennor and seen how it works.

    Not only Lemforder, Meyle has some excellent parts, especially the new HD-series with enforced items.
