It isn't on their system yet, it is supposed to be c. £180, waiting for the invoice now.

The foam isn't cheap, I tried sourcing some myself in the UK and it wasn't easy. When I did find a vendor they wouldn't confirm it was "ocean rated" so I believe CCRB had to get it from the US. They have also had to put in some tooling to form the base so I guess it costs what it costs.

Sure.

But I guess it would be easier to appreciate the merchandise via a picture...

It would have been nice to consider the trim when first designing the unit as well, I suppose, instead of penalizing the users. Just IMHO...

Iain had whacked them up in the Gallery - look forward to seeing it on a unit.

If anyone out there has one it would nice to see the foam support in scale i.e. attached to the boris. I would assume (from the shape) that it does not limit access to the isolation valves.

Thanks
