HVC own brand parts - any good? was created by Gr8uncleal

Does anyone have any views, good or bad, on HVC own brand repro parts? The item I have acquired is a 1973-1975 RD petrol tap/petcock.

I see that they're not cheap, so hopefully decent quality.

Thanks.

Hard to really tell on that part. Wonder why if it is their part it takes a few days to ship.

Here is another to check out:
www.economycycle.com/product/yamaha-rd12...50350r5ds67-petcock/

...also at some time in the past, there must have been a HUGE ship that brought all vintage yamaha parts to the UK, because every time
I can't find something...guess where it is.  ha ha and I hate waiting.

 
1974 Yamaha DT125A
1974 Yamaha DT360A with SP96 Exhaust
1977 Yamaha DT250D
Next…196x-197x Yamaha something.

Thanks for the replies.

The fact that they put their brand on the part did give me some encouragement and I don't want to sell tat!

"Here is another to check out:"

When you click on the Economy Cycle photo, it comes up as being the HVC part.
