Thanks GM Grumpy,
That has helped all of us in understanding the issues.
I think you have convinced me of the superiority of the Morrison design.
The SB Diplomat, as you know, was an Australian Design Award winner.
The basis for that award would have been safety (enclosed reel) and
manoeuvrability (rear catcher). The quality of design and manufacture
of transmission components seems to have been overlooked in the criteria.
In any case, I hope sorlawn makes an inquiry to Masport, and that
we receive notification of the outcome.
Grumpy, is there a set life to these plastics before they break down,
become brittle and fail (as compared to steel and alloys)?
Cheers
