Brilliant mate, thanks thats all i needed to know...thanks for the quick reply.
There's one on ebay for £19 so thought i'd try grab a bargin, ah well maybe not! Just wanted to keep it in in case i needed to rebuild.
One more question i asked earlier on this page...will a newer head of the Plus 12-3 range fit on to my LS5? hate the purple and like the lower head look.
