Pulled the baffles out a while back to check they were clear. One crumbled to dust. Ordered a new pattern one from David Silver. Didn't think much of the look of it, plus it fitted like prick in a top hat, as we used to say. Result was that out on a VVMC run yesterday she went off song and got very noisy. Some miles later we stopped for a break and yes the damned thing had vibrated it's way out, tightly bolted in as well it was. So if you see one in a ditch in Buckinghamshire you can have it. Meantime I'm hoping that one of the Brothers has a servicable one that I could purchase or make a donation via paypal to a charity of your choice.
I really don't want another pattern one if I can help it.
Muchos Grathias Amigos.

Tim is in the USA, but you will almost certainly pay VAT and a large contribution to the Royal Mail on arrival.Billiam wrote:Thanks Richard. They do look good on his web site. Have emailed for an estimate of postage costs.
Thanks again Rob.
P.S. Suppose I wouldn't have to pay any Australian tax. It's +20% here.

Yes Tim is in the USA, not Aus.
Postage for us in Aus from USA is pretty high but zero tax if item is deemed less than $1000.00 value.
Hope it works out OK for you in the UK.
Regards
Richard
