Hi Ron: I ordered several from the major suppliers, VB, Moss, and of all
places Scarborugh Fair and none of them were even close to being worth
using!!!! On word I will definitely say is do not buy from Scarbourgh Fair
as I am still waiting on the credit cards decision as she refuses to accept
the rubber back even after I emphatically asked if the rubber was made in
the UK or China before ordering and was told they had it specially made in
the UK. When it arrived it was clearly labeled on the pkg.. made in REPUBLIC
OF CHINA!!!! URHRHRHRHRH ,, Got the one I am using from Sports and Classics
(203) 655 - 8731 ask for John. I will inform you what Caroline C. told me ,
that the corner may split and you will have to re-glue as she also tried
several from various suppliers and settled with Sports & Classics. Theirs
was the best I have found to date. Still searching for a supplier of
posi-drive screws( the ones with the little marks between the points) if
anyone knows of a supplier please forward it to me.
Leo
