Where to get SY glands?

[HappyHippyDad]

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?

an SY gland is similar to an SWA gland except that it has 2 slots, diametrically opposed. you split the braid and place each half in each slot. tighten the gland then cut off excess braid. have some band-aids ( or bog roll and insulation tape ) with you as you're bound to ----- your hands/fingers.
