Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen

Good find Fuzzbom...not much more than some of the copy ones.
How often are we supposed to change these?

I always use genuine filters in both my fazer 1000 and VFR.  They can be picked up cheaply enough on evilbay although I usually only buy from established UK sellers to avoid the potential for fakes.
