Thomas,

Not wanting to get embroiled in a thread war as is so common here it is fair to say we are not sure if the agreement between Andy and UKR was to return the original pipes or not. If indeed the original was copied exactly which is what is currently being looked at, the request for Andy to provide basic measurements from his pipe is to see if there is a direct match.

If indeed the match is the same then there is another problem to resolve, if they are totally different then the outcome is more obvious.

Couple of observations from me, the pipes are so far adrift in terms of size there has to be something more than just a mis-calculation, I have received over 50 pipes from Alex, only 2 have been slightly out in terms of dimension, and we are taking millimeters, so to produce a pipe this far out seems strange.

Lets see what Andy comes back with and go from there, bashing helps no one.
