Yes it would be GREAT but he doesn't have any left and I think he uses this template. If he or any others can make these I will pay..... I don't have the metal or the kit to make one.

Just don't go to Ebay to buy them - they go for £30-£70

I can't believe how much those ones go for on eBay, i will have to expand. Although they do look very nice in stainless.

I got myself a real-deal Zero Sports one for £36 inc delivery. Again, off eBay.



I hope to be able to do before and after comparisons on charge temps.

Aye, the last ZS one i saw on there went for £81 + del.

I have an aluminium splitter here made to the dimensions above. I did two when i did my first one. I was going to fit it to my car but obviouly plans have changed now i have the ZS one. Quality is pretty poor however and it's a little twisted from lying around. I can't get it to you for a fortnight either as i go offshore tomorrow.

I'd keep an eye on the eBay ones as they're stainless. If you can get one for < £40 you'll be doing ok.

I didn't mean the whole plate, I meant just for the bit of metal, made from the template above, usually goes for £30-£70.
Hence the
Wish I'd thought of flogging them first.

They do the same thing. For similar money give me the whole tray in stainless over the fly-away splitter any day.

Last time i spoke to him Si was looking at getting something similar to what i have made up in carbon.

Question

does scooby si still do these? I would have a one for a tenner or if anyone else does them for a similar price as well.These are still going on ebay for up to 80 quid, a lot of money for what they are.
