Unfortunate - I suppose such oversights will be a more likely occurrence when trying to keep production costs down.... more a reflection on the ebay traders' customer service - at this price check then send a replacement and suck up the loss

I use ebay often - I don't buy "ebay Parts" tho - I don't mind unbranded in some cases - it's a shame you had a bolt missing - How Good do you feel the Build Quality was ? - the Heavier one i Used although unbranded seemed more than capable of doing the Job Safely.

Hi Simon.
I would say they are worth that, but can not remember how much I paid for mine now, they do the job nicely.

Ok, thanks chaps. I'll get them even if they are a bit more expensive - I don't fancy getting whacked by a flying spring - scary things!
