Should be fine, if a mate of mine hadn't lost the ones I lent him I would have used them without question.

Nice quality piece of kit. Make sure you read the instructions 1st, I didn't and just connected them to my old Suzuki without making up throats and they were all over the place. Once done properly they were so easy to use!

When I've got the cash spare I'll get a new set.

Yep, no problem.

Are you thinking of buying or do you already have them? I invested in a set and I am only down the road in Reading if you want to save yourself the expense.

As others have said, it's fine - it's what I use. :smt023

You have to insert a smaller piece of tube within each of the pipes to dampen the pulse from the engine and give a steady reading. Not easy to explain but all of the bits come as part of the kit, you just have to put it together.

Sort of makes sense. I've used them once before, but that was a few years ago.
