    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.

    Showoff!

    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.

    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).
