V12 timing chain made by "Rombo"

Hi, I’m in the UK and the only new V12 timing chain I’ve found on UK Ebay is being sold by a seller called Jagman0_6 who has 27k feedbacks (that’s a lot!) for £40.

Thinking this was cheap I asked who makes it. Turns out it’s a company called “Rombo” and the box has “Rombo Super” on it and they haven’t had any problems.

Anyone used this make or have any alternative suggestions? Thanks

I used “Federal-Mogul” chain which I bought from David Manners Ltd. https://www.jagspares.co.uk/

good choice , ordered and bought a new V12 chain, it was made in INDIA, just did not look right!
i used my original factory chain, only had 20K miles on it, been 25 yrs all ok!
1978 V12

Still, I’m not sure there’s any record of Made in India chains failing in this application. And, as we all know, cost is an unreliable indicator of quality.
