I will let you know when I fit it. It looks the part and feels very strong come with all the bits like a safari one and joins to exsisting pipe work not on the vent.

I should get mine fitted at the weekend or begining of next week so will let you know.

Stay clear of the other ones made of fibreglass as they tend to crack.

I've just dropped him a note to see if he can get hold of other marques. At last a sensible price for a bit of blow moulded plastic.

I think there might be an intelectual property rights issue with that, it's a blatent copy isn't it :-k

BTW, it's rota-moulded plastic, probably LMDPE or polyprop.  Far from rocket science to mould, more of a black art.  You could make it in your garage if you knew what you were doing.

Easy to laugh until you run a company and China starts producing exactly what you sell at 1/3 the price and you end up bankrupt. China has interesting I.p. laws.  Hear of it loads across all industries.

It's like stolen car radios I'm afraid.  Whilst people buy them, they'll nick them.
