Are these the correct Febi shafts or is it worth paying the extra for the genuine Peugeot ones seeing as these have last 21 years LOL

You won't find febi.

Trust me, I've exhausted all sources and even spoke with febi.

Don't believe online people shoeing stock, as I can assure you even if you ordered, you'd get an email saying nla.

Can't comment on cheap shafts, as always used genuine or as said, Febi

The snr kit isn't as good a fit as genuine peugeot kit. For starters the crosstube seal supplied in snr kit (gold colour ring) isn't an interference fit and just slides on.
