I've seen this mentioned here before but can't find it. The guy in Mumbai offering this kit for about £70 shipped:

Thing is, what are the odds of that lot fitting a 91 sami (Spanish)?? I know I need inner seals and prob kingpin bearings etc, but once I get inside there could be more. Any users of this kit please advise - I assume it is current Maruti?

Scottie will probably know for sure as his dad has a Maruti, but I'm 99.985% sure that there's no difference between a Maruti axle and the rest of the world's SJ axles.

by the way I think I can get these a lot cheaper than that.... the hub kits with the felts, metal semi-circle things, and the axle oil seals are about £13 here

I wouldn't worry too much, the bearings that aren't in Twiss's kit are worth the money you've paid. You've pretty much got everything else free.

As long as they are decent bearings its a great price.
