I know it's not what you want to hear after the event, but andyc is the man you wanted, he does them all as a kit at a reduced price for OOFers

and he's relatively local to in that other Bury (St Edmonds)

I went straight to dealer because the guide said not to trust third party parts.

Will consult members in future.
