Also the MX logo on Tech 3 repops is not as nice stamping as the old ones. Almost looks blurred. :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the heads up, I've been looking at those levers tempted to buy a few......the ones you're talking about are the Silver ones, bought from a trip to the states? Although have to say the packaging looks OG ...... :D

Tech 3 levers..........
Any clasp can be added to the lever to affectively give a date to it but, if you hold the lever up to the light, inside the body you will find JAPAN stamped on one side, the date on the other 0483, for example. As previously said, the lever arm stamping on the repops is atrocious :knuppel2:
Hutch Beartraps..........
On the body you will find on each cage fixing arm, two dimples on the JDB version, and only one dimple on the original Hutch. Yes, they can filed down and rechromed, at which point, you will be hard pressed to spot the difference. On the cages, the small hole to the left of the fixing bolt is at the bottom on the original cage when looking at it with the axle pointing left. There are so many JDB cages out there though, finding the real deal is hard and people tend not to sell the original's much.
I hope that helps buddy, in some way :daumenhoch:

Any lever you buy off ebay ask the seller if there is a date on the clasp and on the inside of the lever. Together with a nice crisp MX stamp can't go wrong. :daumenhoch:
