Hi Pete,

Totally agree with your logic and ethics about ‘value for money’ and awareness of supply versus demand, what will the customer pay!!!

I don’t think for 1 minute there is any doubt about the pylons ‘value for money’ – period.

You mention VITON ‘O’ Rings, I was looking at those myself the other day, hence I am somewhat confused with your pricing structure, as the VITON Rings are (as expected) more expensive then NBR but £200 more, surely some mistake. Anyway, I had a look just now on the Net at a company called Eastern Seals; they are a UK based supplier their address is easternseals.co.uk, I notice they were selling genuine Du-Pont VITON V75 Rings (27,6mm x 2,4mm) for £0.2068 for batches <100. Therefore 18 x £0.2068 = £3.7224, which is a far cry from the >£200 you mentioned, obviously with larger batch orders the price reduces.

I just wonder if perhaps you mis-interpreted the prices being quoted.

They do sell some very expensive Rings at approx £8 each, but they are for encapsulated Rings which are not suitable anyway.

I hope this helps?

Very best regards,

Steve
