Prices are similar to the 2 brands mentioned. I used Autodoc but I'd be cautious now with the VAT hit you seem to get with anything coming from Europe. I believe if you keep it under £35 or so you're ok. Also, Autodoc were a bit sluggish on some deliveries, sourcing from within UK might not be a bad idea.

Ordered some bits from them last month, £50odd. VAT was charged their end. You can see on the App when ordereing if they charge VAT or not. maybe a higher vlaue order VAT and inmport duty will apply this end?

Bearings probably are. Not sure about the actual stub axle
pandaman:
Stub axle came yesterday managed to fit it today.
Cant really fault the quality it seems fine, the fitment was good as well no trouble with the bolts fitting the threads or anything. Measured the gaps between some holes on both and they matched spot on. Don't know how much you were quoted on genuine ones but i paid £45.97 delivered (for 1) and they must of included the VAT and I had no post brexit troubles.
They look different in size in this pic but its the angle i took it from, its not an identical design but like i said it fitted well.
Started to rain and i forgot to take any pictures of it actually fitted, overall its a big (cast?) lump of metal, not much mechanically to go wrong really. Obviously ill report back if i have any problems but i was pleasantly surprised.
