Sorry about that, Reiko...I forgot you can't do that here. Won't happen again. [sm=red_smile.gif]

Still, it sounds like SH is protecting their (limited) U.S. vendors by saying the parts are different...Take a look at the exploded views of an SH and an LRP .28, they couldn't be more alike...Also, those one-way bearings are clearly the same (very few companies make them), thus the shaft diameter would also be the same. If I ever need just the starting shaft for my LRP, I'm going to order the SH part since it comes separately, same if I ever need a backplate. Thanks for the link Dawman!
