    Glands without shrouds?

    Personally I think A CW SWA gland looks a lot better in a finished job without the shroud than they do with it, especially when there are 8 RGM glands in a row next to it, but does any one know of any reason why not fitting the shroud would be a problem? The gland is indoors in a dry and heated...

    Where to get SY glands?

    Could anyone let me know where to get some SY glands (external 20s) at a reasonable price. They do seem a tad expensive. SWA glands £7 for a pair, SY glands £21 a pair!! TLC are usually where I go to find the more obscure items, thats where they were for £21. I guess they are just very expensive?
