Can anyone tell me how big they need to be?

I think it's 2kg minimum, with dry powder.

It's a pity that the delivery may be in 2 or 3 days...

Phone them and order as they may well despatch it today.

if anyone is interested

2kg dry powder (cl A,B,C) £23.75
4kg ditto £40.38

plus vat

from my local stockist (7 available)

I'm getting one tomorrow, if anyone would like me to bring any more with me this weekend let me know - in return for cash the vat is extinguished

UD - you've got a U2U.

I bought it from Halford, a little bit more expensive but I am sure to have one this week end.

A dry powder unit will trash electrical system components. You might want to consider a carbon dioxide bottle instead.

unfortunately, thats what the rule book wants you to have its for accidents in the pit & camping area (which are more likely to be caused by bar-b-q's than anything else)

I've just spoken to Eddie at the ACU who confirms that the word 'powder' has been removed from the next handbook as the had complaints that they were difficult to get hold of. A foam one would be perfectly acceptable.

I can't find any cheaper than UDs £23.75 so I'll bag one of those if there's any left!

Cheers,

all gone now - I must be in the wrong business!

I've replied to everyone via u2u who asked and confirmed the order

I'll be collecting them tomorrow morning so no panic
