The rubber on mine is cracking again, so I know it'll need doing soon(ish) and as I sold my last spare to a member here I picked one up from Aliexpress. If it lasts as long as the previous one I'm not doing so badly.

While I have the handle off, I have a wider view rear-view camera to install that'll give me a view of the towball when backing up to the van. Win-Win.

Yes you sold it to me but I’ve had to do it again since as somehow I pinched the wire on reinstalling and it chaffed and wires were too short to cut and join.

This guy is based locally in WA I think

I think the correct preparation involves cleaning it in the dishwasher.[biggrin]

We're about to do a reno and I joked about putting in a ramp so I could park my bike in the lounge room to work on it and the mrs nearly had kittens.

I have a granny flat, but it's full of machine tools and computers.

Need a bigger block.

Me too but it has been converted from man cave to a proper bedroom now for eldest!

You haven’t lived though until you’ve built an engine on the kitchen table. (Everything was immaculately clean by this stage).

Great job, do you intend to get it dirty again ?
