Hi Joe
Point taken Joe, though if you think it works quite well on HS2's, don't
drive one on HS4's! I do appreciate the problem of availability now you have
pointed out the reason why they are not available over there! I guess I
should say that they were original fitment on the early 1500TC (Dolomite in
all but name and Carbs).
Cheers,
Graham.
