Tom,
I wish I was offline as I might get to rest for a few hours.
Been on line all day - all weekend and still here now as we speak.

I stock the replacement tubes for $75 a pair.
Available with a red, black or blue center tube.
The main parts of the tube are Mercedes parts.

I think the hedgehogs have to be facing muzzle to the wind for maximum affect do they not?

MrTomT, any chance of posting a full size shot of your avatar on the Random 928 pic thread?
