T5 Bearing Retainer...

Wondering if you guys have had experience with this one-piece bearing retainer. My brother sent it to me and said they are nice. I had used one of the "Summit" bearing retainers for my T5 when it was in last time, and the steel part had worked loose from where it was supposed to be pressed into the aluminum hub. Summit was kind enough to replace it free, but I like the idea of one-piece.

This thing is just a CNC piece of either nodular iron or steel. Whaddya think?

Looks like a nice piece; however, I have never seen any issues with the Ford "2-piece" bearing retainers.

What is the cost of that one-piece retainer?

Not sure. I didn't buy it. I'll find out.
