Re: Thinking about fitting a prop isolator lock.
Mine came from busman, cause I could pay him by paypal. It works real well. Selectable at any speed so long as on a trailing throtle. Never had any probs with it.
syncroservices provided syncroswedes, it came better packaged on a wooden board. Both mine and mals had broken vacuum units though.

Re: Thinking about fitting a prop isolator lock.
I don't have them in stock, I get them from syncroservices which anyone can do so no point in me putting them on the shelf and marking up the price, Henning does excellent service, good english and I use him as my one point of contact for Germany saves having to deal with the rest of them. None of the ones I have had delivered have been damaged
I did make some up a while back using parts from SA but the parts weren't very good
no second hand ones they'll be with the hens teeth and rocking horse pooh hence the
If I had a spare £5k then I'd go into manufacture myself but
I don't have one on my van so can't comment on what they are like to drive with, I'm happy with the original system and would suggest that a refurb VC is a better spend than a decoupler for most peeps as tight vc's don't always work as you'd expect and if when it fails then you still have to sort something out
maybe syncrospares will bring them to uk market for those who can't use interweb for themselves
