A long lamp and and a short lamp still dosen't sound right to me but until someone comes up with something better we will just have to wait.

Can't you pay by a different method, bank transfer etc.

Nobody seems to have ever seen the L.D.R and it's just been given that name going on part numbers for parts that are available for it.
What I meant was I didn't know what the finish was to the hood, although in the photo it looks like all the other brass hoods when you see it in...
Be careful how you send it as the regulations for carrying Items that have had fuel in them are tight. If it's not tracked there's no guarantee...
Maybe you'll be able to steal some more by selling it on Ebay. As already said it's a desirable lamp in the UK because they were made for export...
