I went on Ebay and got three for £6.50 including postage from Alex,they are hard plastic and alot better than the ones I've been using,they seem to always tear on the joint,the ones from Gardiners are the same but better quality IMO and don't cost the earth either ;)

I screw 2 plastic ones together to get that little extra reach, cos i'm as tight as 2 coats of paint!

Thats wot i do but they become very bendy and break easily. Thats why i want aluminium ones so they are stronger and wont break easily.

I've asked Alex about bringing these out, or adding rotating, lockable  joint in the alluminium goosenecks.

I hate the plastics ones... they are way tooooo bendy.

Pester Alex.... ;) ;D

I did even try this myself, I had someone weld a rotating piece into the aluminium gooseneck - unfortunately I could never get it clamped tight enough ( my design fault)

I'll take a piccy when I get a mo and post it up
