Ive been looking on ebay and other sites and seen vikan brushes but without jets in i was just wondering if people buy these and make there own, if so what needs to be done.

vikans are a doddle  you just need some jets and the right size drill bit,best thing about vikans is the "give" in the plastic so you can use a drill bit that is a fraction small and then gently tap the jets in,its nice stuff to drill as well ,bentleys and other diy brushes are more of a pain (harder,brittle plastic and usually less depth of material to mount jets in)and sometimes the savings are minimal,but jetting a vikan yourself is very easy

off top of my head i think its about a fiver on most of em after you have bought jets.....however some blokes make their own jets too so.....

standard vikan oval is 11.50 or 19.50 ex vat ;)then add jets and delivery
its better if you have several sets of jets already
