from what i understand the cabby/tintop pipes are a close fit, it goes in with some slight bending and worst thing about it is the cap sits at a slightly different angle?

I have a tintop one for my cabby, i cant compare it to the old cabby pipe because it had rusted so bad the neck was in half  :shocked:

Ordered what is supposed to be the right part from GSF at a mear £104 ( :sick:) to arrive tomorro.
Hopefully it`s gonna fit like a glove, the nice chap there says he`s been down this road before and no`s what he`s talkin about.

  We`l see tomorro :huh:

Sounds more like the price I paid so I'd say that's the right part.

So did they sell you the wrong part then ?
......now officially dubless.

Glad you got it sorted.

Expensive but worth it. Rust in the tank and eventually in the carb is worth avoiding at any price. Trust me, I speak from bitter experience.  :cry:

They did sell me the wrong part, and they were adament they neck they supplied to me was correct.  What pissed me off was that he, or any other nob that i spoke to just did`nt wanna listen to what i was saying.  Dont you jus hate that attitude.  The 1st time i delt with these guys was when they 1st opened up in Cardiff.  They could`nt do enough for u.  But now they more estabished they dont seem that intrested anymore.

  Lets see wot tomorro brings, picking up the right part i hope.
