I'll have one if they're going. Hopefully that will guarantee I will never need it!

Ordered 50 o rings in viton as there are 4 o rings for each bufkin pipe.
They should arrive next week.
15 mm Id x2mm section. Gives a od of 19.5 to 19.6 when installed on the bufkin pipe.

Is there anyone in a position to do a trial fit of one of the pipes.
Although the sizes are exactly the same as the original bufkin pipe. And these fittings have a proven track record.
As usual I am being over cautious and would like confirmation that all is ok before we ship them all out.

Gregstv many thanks for the offer. Wish you were a lot closer.
A massive big thank you to IchBautAuto. Who provided the detailed drawing and dimensions of the original bufkin pipe. Also for all the information on the o ring sizes.
Couldn’t have done this without your co operation and advice.

Hopefully posting the pipes out end of next week.
Please pm me your addresses so that I can forward on.
Cost is around £15:00 May be a bit cheaper depends on cost of viton o rings.
Then Jiffy bag and postage on top.
Will get the total price sorted next week
Still cheaper than the one I got from Poland. And these are to the original spec.
Cheers Steve.

Yes shopp. PayPal is good. Though I have never used it yet for money coming in. It’s always for money going out !
Ps. It’s been great to be able to contribute something back to the forum.
