There's also Missing Linkz - based in the US, but I believe they ship to the UK.

And what a palaver to fit !!!

The missinglinkz kit is basically the same as the TSR kit, unless you go for the weighted cross rod.

already ordered up the missinglinkz kit But the USRT kit is like shifter porn and I'm sure that bad boy will never come off no matter how hard you shift. I WANT ONE!

I've got one of them. The kit is okay but nothing special.
