£162.50 plus VAT and postage, so... £200 ish.

More form than function, but I'm tempted. Avaliable in black, blue red or silver.

I got an email from them last week. It will be launch at Bingley Hall.

Ideal if you have £200 spare and you dont have anything to spend it on!
Might get one when i'm in that situation but its something i doubt i'm going to look at often enough to warrant buying one with a side mount rad. You'd need a front mount to really show it off. DSN's stuff is really nice though, might invest in the odds bits and pieces.

I wonder if it has anything machined in it to replace the thrust face on the cam triangle...

EDIT. I'm talking shit again...

If it was me designing that I would make it so it eliminates the plate behind, and has an O ring seal to the block too.

I thought that it does do away with the front plate? The breather comes off the back side of it?

A couple of pics of it fitted, it does take away the backplate entirely.

that does look smart fitted!

does it use the normal gasket behind John?

what would be cool is if there was a removable plate over the cam gear to allow access for dyno cam tweeking.

Doesn't look too bad fitted. If they had one with an inclusive trigger wheel sensor bracket, that might warrant the 200 spondoolies. Aren't you still going to have oil leaks with a gasket to block face? I would have put a seal on the block face and get rid of the gasket altogether.
