Thanks Pete I think I'll give these a go, SJS do a number of fibrax but not raincheaters. As shipping is free for orders over £10 there's no harm in me getting a set (with some o-rings to push the order over £10) and give me the opportunity to suggest widening their shipping
to outside the UK (no idea why they don't do international). All the best, Julius
