    Halfrauds sell them for 8 quid but take a week to get them, local motor factors sell them for 20 but won't have em till Monday, anyone ever used a strap successfully on these?

    I think it's an 86mm? Think 32 is for the 6 pots although I'm usually wrong on these things!

    On the 540 it is a bit too small, probably need 34-38
    The 3 series I am pretty sure it is 32.
    You don't need the big one 86, that goes all around.
    Feel free to drop by to try the 32

    Oh right sorry, I have never serviced a 4 pot before, had just read online about these big silly filter cups and thought that was what was needed, I will try pop down some evening during the week when it suits you if that's okay?
