What to do, what to do...
I have 3 15l cylinders and 1 12l twinset.

One 15l cylinder and the twinset is O2 clean and has a DIN 1st stage fitting and I recently converted my regs to DIN.

The other two 15l cylinders (full hydro tested last October) are not O2 clean and have A-clamp only valves (Heisser) which have an M25 thread.

So...

Do I ebay the two non-DIN cylinders and buy one new O2 clean one with a DIN valve, or do I have the two cylinders O2 cleaned and have the valves changed to DIN valves at the same time.

Hmmm...I guess I could have one O2 cleaned and a valve changed and ebay the other one.

O2 clean and a new valve comes in at £60 per cylinder. One new 15l O2 cleaned cylinder (Faber lightweight) from GoDive is £119 plus whatever postage is...

I just can't decide what's best

I found a MDE valve (with DIN connector and insert) in my garage from when I had some left handers fitted to make some indies.

You're welcome to it if you want for a tenner for the RNLI

Hehe...I hadn't considered the option of asking the YD massive to check the darkest recesses of their dive stores, errr, garages I meant

That would be great Si - thank you - very generous!! I'll cover postage and will of course donate to the RNLI. I'll PM you.
