My 3 arrived promptly via fed-ex all in good working order. Bonus, my Avon pump fits the valve no problem.

Happy days!

Thanks again for the tip and the advice on the valves.

Hi all, does anyone know what type of material Avon used to make the yellow bow-dodgers for their dinghies and rover series sibs? The official name/brand would be really useful to me.

Thanks in...

Anything considered as long as its ready to use. Happy to pay postage costs...

With all the conversions to jockey seats on here, there must be a few lying in the back of sheds! :-)

Thanks.
