G'day Doc,

Yes I'm happy with them too, although not as easy to remove as the others they do look the part.

Thanks for the compliment :D

Our new prototype bubble caps & downcomers have arrived, I think you guys might like them.

Also got some prototype 2" double reducer boka heads that look pretty neat too :D

Pics coming "SOON" :teasing-neener:

The downcomers might be a bit large for a 4" rig :laughing-rolling: but the bubble caps would look & work great in a 4" rig with our standard downcomer :handgestures-thumbupleft:

not a great update or good news today I'm afraid :handgestures-thumbdown:

Mrs Macs 75yo dad was admitted to hospital yesterday with some kind of infection, he's being kept there again today overnight, it's uncertain what the problem is.

We have a lot to do regarding orders & enquiries with FSD customers, we will get back to you all and post orders out as time permits, apologies for the delayed responses and deliveries but we hope you all understand as we're spending most of our time up at the hospital.

Cheers,

Mac.

Thanks for all the good wishes guys, mrs Mac's dad is in good hands where he is.

Bloody weird infection started as a bit of a red dot on his nose, looked like he'd been a bit sun burnt then quickly spread through his nose and eyes.... they're worried it could spread to his brain so they wont let him out until there's a drastic improvement, he looks like someone threw a brick in his face.

Between his infection and my own health issues this is turning out to be a really shitty time so close to christmas :crying-blue:
