Now let me think.

Ebay - £90 a pair

Or Catmint Gordon - £13.20 the pair.

You don't even have to think about it...

Minispares stock them now too (with a very similar description to Catmint)

You wonder how they do it for the price. More power to their elbows I say

I am not trying to justify the high price BUT: one is zinc plated steel (catmint + MS) and the one from Ebay is stainless steel

Gee, the ratty old originals (Ok I can only vouch for the last 40 years:) fitted to my 63 are still quite serviceable.

Maybe stainless is a bit of an overkill??

Cheers, Ian

Exactly what I was thinking Ian.

My mate and I have just done the radius arms for his 70 GT and the original tubes came out and were perfectly serviceable.

Agreed the plastic ones are shite and some of the previously supplied aftermarket steel ones don't fit as the expanded part is too big, but really don't see the need for (and the subsequent expense of) stainless ones.

Well done to Gordon for producing these at sensible prices.

I hope he doesn't mind me bigging up his other offerings. The best (?) being stainless large diameter clutch and brake hose nuts and star washers.

Maybe Gordon is the man to see about having decent rubber boots re-manufactured.........

Could be a reason for that

I had a hunch that was the case!

It’s a shame Minispares can’t get nice photos with their new items as it’d help their case, especially with the higher quality products
