I've been sent one of these as an exchange item and have been offered another for core recycling. I am however reticent to have either of them sleeved and reconditioned unless I know there will be a demand for them.

I'd like to hear from owners of LHD models on the 'tandem' system as to what you'd do if your BMS failed and needed replacement?

Hmm….

Will these not fit RHD models Alun?
Doing so will involve fitting two new metal brake pipes?

It has been done, but one of the unions is extremely close to the suspension turret. Supply of exchange RHD units seems OK at the moment (though I have lost two or three to members who haven't had exchange units) not to need to rely on LHD units, that are available still from some suppliers, albeit for £20 more than the recon units sell for.
