the thing with GSF I find is, you can go in one day and buy a part made by a decent company and then go in the next day and buy the same part and it'll be made by a totally different company.  So might not be safe to assume that any polo tappets you buy from these will be made by INA.  They just seem to buy stock from loads of places.

you get to know the men behind the quarter. They know me and sam won't accept no shite and will delve to see if they have oem quality!

Thanks for that Paul.
I`ve found the same and as Pete says i`ve kinds got to know the staff at Accrington fairly well
so i`ll get them to dig deep as well.

What engine Bits are safe to buy from them assuming OEM Quality.

Yeah its hit and miss with the suppliers at GSF, so you need to be on the ball! Makes sense for them like all businesses, not to keep eggs in one basket just incase of supply chain problems.

My last set from GSF were INA (green and white box)

I am using non VW OEM ones, i got mine from ECP for £9 each.

I wasn't aware GSF sold anything other than INA tappets. Either way, I won't accept cheap parts that are sub standard.

Fred

well if GSF`s are INA then why are they totally different.
I can only guess that its a copyright thing but putting the two side
by side theres an obvious differance in Quality.
