The aftermarket one sold by DSS professes to be better than the original on the account that it has been modified with a copper bush added to it to alleviate the problem of seizing.

I had one like this on my 400.

Ted, easy for me to knock that sort of thing up in my workshop and save yet more £'s

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I do not have the luxury of that type of equipment nor the skills to use a lathe.

It's taken a lot of time to master my Buffing wheel - I'm still at the first year apprenticeship stage.🤔🤔🤔
