Out of the goodness of my heart :-* & after DAYS of searching, for anyone wanting gaz brushes etc.
www.cleanstore.co.uk
www.vastsupplies.co.uk
These are two suppliers of salmon products
I've used the second one (vastsupplies). Phone them though as if you order on-line there's a minimum delivery charge of 10 quid. over phone he'll post at cost. mk II swivels 1.69 inc vat.
You may have to search through the sites but they are on there.

Yes.

I found the Mk1 swivel much easier to master than the Mk2 version, I wish I could find a link for the Mk1 version.
But thanks MacMac for the link to the brushes, I will be buying some ;)
I like this brush http://www.vastsupplies.co.uk/product.php?productid=3838&cat=93&bestseller
It reminds me of the sill brush being sold at at a much higher price and probably half the weight.
-
You may find the bristles are all at the wrong angles.
-
Jeff, Wouldn't the angle adaptor compensate for that?
-
Dont think so, saw one once. You could fit the sawn off unger swivel as I have done with a few, but you need a light brush. I dont think it is light.
-
On second thoughts pretty sure the bristles are wrong but someone needs to buy one to find out, so why not. I could be completely wrong.
-
Vastsupplies also sell the angle adaptors (exactly the same as from wfp suppliers) for 2.49 inc vat
ooops, the swivels are 1.67 inc vat & not 1.69 as said earlier, 2p :o
They tend to be cheaper than cleanstore.

Tony do you have the phone number for vastsupplies? I had a look and can't see it on there site. I'll give them a call tomorrow and order a brush.
-
I was going to place an order, £10 postage for 4 small items costing a tenner is well over the top. Don't think I'll bother, Dai

Hi
Ive seen that people on this forum were more happy with Gaz's first swivel brush when compared to the swivel joint that he later supplied.
Have looked at a few options but haven't done anything yet.
www.decoratingdirect.co.uk/viewprod/r/RODSPSH/
Swivel sanding base – cut base to suit brush and screw on.
www.janitorials.org.uk/acatalog/syr-interchange-brushware.html
swivel deck scrub brush – remove swivel and fit to modified brush
Anyone else looked at these?

Its a shame you can't zoom into have a better look at the swivels, the decking ones look the best, but it works out £10 plus p/p just to get the swivel bit.
But it does look like the mk1 swivel we had.

I have held one of these brushes, they are used in Burger Kings, they are the hardest bristles I have ever felt, they are like steel!!! they use them to clean the tiled floors, don't get one you will be dissapointed. I saw them at acarboot sale, a Burger King franchise had gone wrong

Dave
Its hard to tell from the pic the actual size of them?
Will they definitely fit the vikan and the angle adapter thread?

Correct NHW.
I used the lightweight ones gaz sold, much better, but which ones are they???
-
There not the salmon ones as in the picture,i have a couple of the ones you mean and there not the same as the ones on the website suggested,the official salmon ones are much better quality but like i said a lot heavier.You wont find the brush your after on that website i`ve looked and gave them a call.
-
the brush in the picture is a salmon B1058 lightweight hygine range. It looks exactly like the gaz swivel brush that i got from gaz, i thought it was rubbish mind.

Hi
The suggestion Luke was to buy the brush, remove the swivel and throw the brush head away.
Gaz's mk1 swivel also had an additional insert to prevent the horizontal from pivoting to far.
-
so MK2 was a ball joint and MK1 was a universal joint, is that correct?
-
I like the look of that brush in the picture, where can you buy them...oh yeah I wasnt talking about that brush, I was talking about another brush that a member put a link to, Luke
-
so MK2 was a ball joint and MK1 was a universal joint, is that correct?
yes mk2 was the ball joint, i have the original mk1 swivel, they are great
-
Hi Karl
That is correct - the mk1 is a universal joint. There must be a supplier out there somewhere.

Hi Jef1
perhaps this is a better picture of the deck scrub brush's swivel joint
