Right, I am coming to the end of my tether with this piece of cr@p ! Got some Mikalor clamps and it is still blowing. There is loads of play in the joint with the middle pipe due to the lack of support from the rear bracket. Its like the back box is swinging in the breeze. Id be interested...

Can I register my interest as well ;)
