I managed to pick up a roof gutter trim at inters yesterday in excellent condition for £15 after being told they were rare and fetching £250 2nd hand! BTW thanks Thom and Mr blue for fitting tips, went on like a dream! Clips the right way up this time 0 :laugh: nice meeting you guys and putting a face to the name.

Nah not £250 the grief is actually delivery the tube its got to go in is massive as they bend easily so not surprised they say its stupid money just on delivery alone.
I've got one I'm saving so I'm not in your situation mate  :lipsrsealed:

  • I'm better than you today.
1. Make do and mend.
2. Adapt and improvise.


Failing that just buy another Mk2 for the parts.  Far cheaper.
