Yes, as a matter of fact, most parts for the Lucas Mk II PI setup are very hard 
to find - Rimmer supplies whatever they DO have available on a strict core 
exchange basis only.

Not sure what kind of additive you're referring to or what Dave is using but 
I'm still going on the bottle of concentrated stuff I got 3-4 months ago (a 
squeeze of the bottle to fill a small 1 oz reservoir) - now 
buying the stuff a bottle at a time and shooting the whole thing every fillup 
may be a different story.  I'll try and remember to check the bottle on the 
product I'm using.
