might be just the pic, but to me it looks a bit too silver, as if its not been heat treated, should it normally be duller looking or greyish ??

On another board I frequent this very problem was discussed. I can't remember which vendor is developing "good" layshafts... but it wasn't MiniSpares.

I have heard that Minispares layshafts are actually no stronger than cheese!! I have seen a few threads on them actually, I think there was one on turbominis.
