Yeah Martyn (K1an0)on the GT4 club makes nice simple plumbing parts ones=20 and sells them through the club. His are the striaght line ones, rather=20 than the T piece ones though. You need to disconnect it to adjust, but=20 they are less prone to jamming, and don't need the tiny bleed hole that=20 the T-piece ones need on the out put side of the controller.

Mine was a straight-line one *with* the teeny bleed hole. It never jammed or did anything wierd in ~2years, except for sticking open once about a week after I'd fitted it - because it found some gunk in one of it's pipes :) A quick clean with some WD40 sorted it.
Go to Festo and save yourself even more.

Festo?
Company that makes high pressure hoses/valves/solenoids etc. They are international as far as I know. Try looking in the white pages for them. They do a really great valve with a spring for a bleed valve. I had one on my Skyline. Cost 4/5ths of f*ck all.

I shall look them up. Normally look at people like RSS components. But the MBC is dead simple. Essentially a plumbers T piece, 2 barb ends, a third barb end cut down and tapped, a bolt and locknut, a bicycle ballbearing and a biro spring.
The Difference is about =A31 on the price and =A33 on the postage. Without= =20 looking at the maplin one, can't say for certain but probably the same=20 one. + Maplin price includes VAT.

The Maplin one should be OK - I posted the link to the CT15 'coz it was the first example of the right thing Google found, not because it's the
*only* one...Mine has no brand name, though there was something screen printed on the handle - long gone, and came from a tool shop in either Glasgow or Manchester IIRC; it's still going strong 20+ years and tens of thousands of crimps later :)

I'll try to nip into Maplin and see what theirs is.
