Hilmour vs other brands guide ?

Lost my 15mm guide !
Anyone used non hilmour before ?
Any good?
Plumb centre want £25 for a guide or I can get a different one for like £5.

Personally I’d get hilmour as I’ve had rippling when I’ve used a third party guide

Aye that’s what I’m worried about.
Can’t belive the price though, the machine with a 15 and 22 guide was only £65 from the same place.

Try and beat em down or if it’s not urgent get on eBay or something that’s where I got mine from

I’m going in later, that was the price online.
I will get a bit off it but not much as it’s not something I buy a lot of.
Gonny look on eBay and Amazon.

The original British Hilmor is still being made under the name Benditnow, so maybe try them for parts as supposed to be same, only made in England instead of the new foreign made Hilmor.

I spoke to them and they said they can’t guarantee it will be correct for my Hilmor machine
I can get a Hilmor for a bout £18 after some shopping around and one if theirs for £15

Plumb centre let me try a rothenberger one yesterday and the ripping was terrible.
I’m trying another today and if that’s the same just going to get a Hilmor online.
I tried to get the Hilmor from PC yesterday but for some reason they can’t get it even though it’s on the website.
