Theres a couple of people who are friends with steve that get them made by him then sell them on. My only issue with the delrins would be if you did crack one how easy it would be to get it replaced as he dosent deal with the general public.

I dont think hampshire tackle had any bug eyes in stock. They have two sets of std led delrins in at the minute.

No not from there.
They have had a good selection in past months but only a couple of standards sets available now.

Not true.

My cases cracked, and I only ever used them with rubber 'O' rings, and very lightly tightened Solar Poziloc fittings, because I knew of their reputation.

So I sent them off to Dalectronics, to have them re-cased. Got them back and all good I thought.

I looked at them about 6 months later, having not used them, or even put them on a bankstick, or buzzer bar, and 2 of them had cracked again.

They definitely were fine when I got them back, and I don't blame Del, because as has been mentioned, the cases are crap and not fit for purpose.

Shame, because everything else about them is great.

I've got a standard multi colour receiver to go with mine, I'll be using them over the Xmas break, not that I get many bites during the winter but I'll of at least put them through their paces.
As you say, you are only here once, I know I'll enjoy using them, simple classic alarms that work without too much hassle,

Just got a set of bug eye ECU's, currently using att's, like the simplicity & battery life but looking forward to having proper on off switches & not playing hunt the magnet to turn them off when its fallen out of the cover again.

Probably won't use a lot of the settings apart from the sensitivity if its windy but fancy a change & you can't take it with you.

Been out on the bank today, not a touch, however I was happy sitting behind my new alarms, patiently waiting, out of the breeze, sun shining intermittently on my face and no rain.
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a good life

One of mine had a fault so there going back. It would only sound if the wheel was to the left side of the pin. If the wheel was slightly to the right side of the pin it wouldnt register at all. Its as though the magnet inside the alarm is out of line with the magnet on the roller wheel. Kind of lost confidence in them now so think im going to get some bug eye ecu's.

Oh dear,
That's not so good, I checked mine and whichever side the wheel is on the alarms work, now all I need is a run 😂😂😂
I had a set of Bug eye ECU's and found them to be great alarms, contrary to what is written I never had any issues with battery life in the alarms or receiver.
