Thanks for the alert. My concern with aftermarket parts, especially for Brompton, whether adapted or not, is the lack of certainty in their long-term operation. In my mind I go back to an aftermarket bolt and clamp kit for Brompton hinges, also off Ebay, where the profiled alu bolts were plain suicidal.
