I have seen these for sale and heard people recommend them.

Am I right in thinking it is a 3rd party making replicas of stock items for a bargain price?

How does the quality compare to Mr. T equivalent? Would peeps recommend them?

I am thinking specifically about the dizzy cap and rotor arm.

TIA

Yep you are right Mr Candyman, Blueprint are knocking out either genuine or copied Toyota/Jap parts.

Quality appears fine.

I think the price for these 2 items you mention is similar to what Mr T quotes...and if it is then I think I would go for genuine parts :)

I've only tried Blueprint rear brake pads and they seemed OK but then they don't get a lot of use on the rear.

I have a Blueprint clutch slave cylinder and it's been fine. Does anyone know for sure if they're pattern parts, or sourced from the same factory that Toyota purchase from?

either way, I've had no problems.

Over christmas I replaced my Dizzy, Rotor Arm, Fuel Filter & Oil filter with the Fensport BluePrint items, on the box it does say something about them being genuine Jap replacement parts made in this country & to be honest when I compared them with the Denso items I pulled out from the car they were exact & I mean exact copies, just didn’t have the Denso stamp on them.
