Hi Dave, I just checked and I paid 19.90 euros last October so not quite a
year. I guess the prices might have increased. For some reason the postage
was very expensive though, so a bulk buy would be wise. I remember he was
out of stock for a while though so he isn't the manufacturer but rather a
distributor. He did say that it was a good quality part made in Germany, and
I have to say that though I expected it not to last long at all, as is the
case with a lot of repro rubber parts, it certainly seems to be doing OK
given its regular contact with petrol spillage. So I think they chose a
reasonable material. And it fitted just fine. And it keeps my filler a lot
cleaner than without it. And as my car hasn't been too economical, I have
had to see it rather too often so it was something I wanted to tidy up very
early on, and I'm very glad I did ;-)

Mark
