As you may know the Steinmetz grill is no longer available, and was very expensive anyway. The splam grill was an excellent alternative but is now proving very hard to come by. Hopefully I can fill the gap. I have been to the plastics guys today and they are confident they can produce a quality product using the same materials as the Steinmetz for a reasonable price, likely similar to the Splam version. There was also talk of having a small VX220 badge on the grill if people want it.

 

So I need to know how many of you are interested. All being well turnaround should be weeks, rather than months.

 

Also worth noting this version will be fitted in a similar way to the Splam, so no clam removal neccesary.

 

Thanks

 

 

Philip

Price will likely be similar to the Splam, which was around £160 + post I think?

Price dependent

The word dependent is an adjective meaning contingent upon, relying on or supported by.

 

Price dependant, yes

The word dependant is a noun and refers to a person who is dependant on someone else, as a child depends on its parents.

 

Simples.

I forget, the plastics guys knew what it was straight away, after smelling and tasting it etc lol. I will find out again. It definitely isn't abs, which they say is used more in molding.
