No, he posted once on VOD, but only to give the ebay item number.
They're big enough to cut in half to make two, so £9 each inc p&p.

Not too bad a price that Mark. I have a spare 316 stainless jobby here if anybody one needs one. Got them cheap off the bay last year.

Stainless isn't easy to weld to steel or I'd have that off you (if all goes well I'll be getting a 475L steel tank in the new year).

I know you can use dissimilar rods but I can get a steel boss miged on for a small drink.

you can mig stainless to mild no problem at all. I allways mig stainless repairs into cars, also some stainless browser tanks we do have mild cradles mig welded on.

If they are the ones I think they are then probably not, they're more like stainless back nuts

anyone we know?

If it's who I think it is, I met him early summer.  He came down in the black beamer.  He was having some issues, but his fuel was not fully reacted or properly washed (not clear 50/50).  Nice guy, talked him through two staging and some other processes.

Again if it's the same guy, the last time I heard, his beamer was fine but he had bought his wife a mini cooper D and had problems with limp mode and engine management light.  Which made me (even) more paranoid when I got my mini.

There are far too many people on the VOD who squeek when they walk. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I am one of those squeakers, but I will spend £ if I really need to or see a reasonable benefit.
