Since Bosch purchased PBR brakes they have proceeded to delete all PBR overhaul kits.
Bosch is not the company they used to be .

I was taught that the acronym "BOSCH" stood for Back Order Something you Can't Have.

hi
Besco batteries in S.A. Far better batteries than others especially Century . Century eventually purchased Besco batteries . Once purchased under a cheaper redesign they were being resold but only as a badge engineered Century ghost product .
Besco ""copies"" were never as durable as the original .

Maintaining a huge fleet of cabs does shows up poor quality . Bleeding acid , short lifespans , random failures
Ever wonder why u only get 2-3 yrs outta a battery .
