Just ordered some QH bearings off Amazon, qwb910 rear kit after my local motofactors struck out, are they any good? I'm hoping they're genuine too & not a cheap copy!

It is unlikely that QH made the bearings.  They almost certainly contracted out the work so there is no way of predicting the quality.

But QH have been an OEM supplier for years so there should be a good chance they are decent. But I seem to remember there was a problem with counterfeit QH bits a few years ago. I think it was only on vauxhaul bits though.

Quinten Hazel went bust last year. They're branded as QH now but made by Tetrosyl. No idea if the quality has changed though?

Thanks guys, I'll report back when I receive them.....

Normally I would agree.  However, for at least 5 years the QH Triumph clutch kits have had a reputation for being garbage.  Based on my previous experience with QH I ignored the advice of others and bought QH for my Spitfire.  Six months later I was replacing my new pressure plate because its diaphragm spring had cracked.  I now Google for reviews of QH parts as the OP (TucTuc) is doing before committing to buy.  

 

I was unaware of the information that Daviewonder posted that QH had gone bankrupt.
