Exterior is but there are some differences on the internal detail & material. Hence the weight differences

Need a week off sick really to see it done. Hammering down with rain tonight so had to set me storm jib over the top. There isn't really a great deal to do it's just waiting on all the back order stuff really. Do they keep anything in stock in the UK any more
examples
Control cables for the Bow Tanks wanted Aquaflex as they are more bendy. wating 3 weeks still not had an instock day yet
Earls Fuel Hose & fitting 50% of the order arrived next 50% in 3 weeks
its a pain coz they take ya money & tell you after, this goes on for pretty much everything left so far.
It's actually faster to Order in the US even allowing for a bank transfer rather than credit card & you have it in a week sometimes less. I thought the delay would be the seal kit for the Latham ram but by the look of it this will arrive weeks before anything here. Rest of the US stuff should ship this friday. Half term next week so that will throw a spanner in it a bit if I had stuff to bolt on

You're lucky if your kids get just 1 weeks half term ours are on 2 weeks half term from last Monday,i know what you mean you just cannot get anything done with them off school.

Talking of bank transfers - had an old mate of mine from the city bell me up this afternoon "advising" me to be careful of Barclays.
I took his advice and pulled my £50 out of the "hole in the wall".
