As Bresco supply the latter in bags of 30, that's what I'll be using. Howard at Bresco was extremely helpful ...

No. The tickets are just if you want to visit the museum. The Dolly day is free to attend.

It's linked to the club when you put in the discount code.

I printed one of these a few years ago...

When I fitted the Escort UJ, many, many years ago, I had to grind a bit of the inner wing flange away.
