Strewth! Surley that's OTT !
You'll rip the recovery thing off before those buggers give
What about a strop between the two points then put those QE2 fittings on that

Yea I made a slight mis-calculation on the sizes but hey I have them now and that whats going to be fitted.

wanted stainless ones but I couldnt find any that were up to spec

what i need now is huge nylon washers to stop them rattling

2" diameter with a 3/4 hole if anyone has any kicking about :-)
