    just because they are ok in america doesnt mean they work here.

    im sure vt would agree with me.

    Basically Adam, i thought long and hard about it and i wasnt prepared to put the coppers in without them having been tested on T5's here in the UK, and i thought i got a pretty good deal on the plats anyway.
