<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I bought a pair also. I already had a
plastic version fitted which I’d never really trusted not to fall out or
self-destruct. The brass version screwed right in and could be tightened down
with a spanner. I don’t recall the price except that it was negligible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I wondered then, as I do now, why they’re
