Excellent – sounds like an easy modification 🙂

The alumuminium bar is only 15×0.9mm (barely strong enough) and the original bolt is plenty long enough for this thickness.

Excellent work, Lyn! Did the bolt and nut come with the roller, or did you have to replace them to accommodate the thickness of the guides?

After counting the votes and examining the spread in tastes, I chose 3435 because, of the dark greens, it was the most balanced along the yellow-blue spectrum. (If you haven’t calibrated your monitor, it may look different for you.) It will arrive in April.

Thanks to everyone who voted!

For a permanent fix, I recommend Seam Grip – I cannot guarantee that the tape will provide a perfectly airtight seal on the non-TPU side of the fabric, especially if it is applied across a seam.

343 seems to be a clear favourite – and a worthy one too, nicely dark and stealthy. Any chance of getting this colour into stock soon?

Yes, though Tyvek tape will also do. If you have finished the process that Mike and Matt described, then applying this tape inside would be a good idea. I have only seen inside an MRS but I suspect that other manufacturers also seam-tape inside as well.

Here it is – it proved better to add a second guide at the rear to feed the tape straighter into the forward guide.
