Hi

Upper cover collets don't look quite right - wonder if they can be swapped with the originals

Regards Mick

You could pay a little bit more and get some excellent Hagons.

Went on a treat and look great. Had to swap the bottom threaded insert for the original one due to thread difference but not complaining as mine were stainless. Now to road test.

Got a spare set now!
