Since real Legris elbows are so hard to find I was considering using the SMC elbows that have been posted up elsewhere on this fourm. However the shipping costs from the US and even in the UK are ridiculous. So, I decided to try and find a a cheaper alternative and found these:
They’re cheap and IMO a good substitue for the real thing. Like the SMC elbows they have the plastic plug which can be removed and with a little grey paint will look great.
I recently bought some resin copied of the real Legris elbows from Propfan (Which are awesome btw and I highly recommend them). Here a comparison pic of my Ebay found elbows and the (partially painted) resin coipies.
I think that is what alot of us late comers will end up doing since the elbows are nearly impossible to find. What I wanna find is someone selling a shitty pack that has accurate parts I can cannibalize. For cheap of course.
Hmm, Sounds like SMC takes shipping prices from the Clippard site. I will always have a soft spot for UK proppers who are neglected by shipping costs from US companies. Thats why I did the Clippard valve deal. I sold all the ones I got, to people from the UK. I am thinking about doing this with the Rit Dye and now looks like the SMC elbows as well. Thanks for the tip!
