they all look the same. I guess I'll suck it and see. main hassle is that

leave the bugger out.

Saves me having to go outside in the rain and take a picture though

Looks like i may have to go hunting round the scrap yard and see if i
can find something that will do the job.

Ive found the LR one in some listings and it looks different.
