I appreciate the replies.

Thanks

There are plenty of if's in there.
Which I agree with, from what I have seen via this forum then the quality of the Kirkham complete product is nothing short of superb.
I do not know enough of the Shelby product to know what the quality is like, nor have I been out checking price comparisons.


Number 1 priority is the quality.
