I might just find out where Addo and Mike got it made in cardiff, but if you could get me a cost tho David that would be quality.

 

[David_smith_909]

will do, just a case of giving the guy a ring, he has replicated the pipework for me before, just not the whole lot

will ring him at dinner and let you know bud

do you want prices in stainless as well? or just alloy??
