i should of known they were too much of a bargain price an i should of checked on here too late now gone an bought it now didnt think nowt of it till my mate came round an asked me if i'de tryed my mould yet as hes bought one off the same bloke what happens is the legs are a nightmare to get thru the holes you can eventually get them thru but you know what its like making sinkers you've got to get the mould pretty hot you dont really want tobe fafing on like you have to get them thru has anybody else had the same problem with these moulds if so did they solve it i was thinking about getting my mate to drill the holes bigger what do reckon?

Yes! we had a thread about them a while back, did you buy it via ebay?

I sent the ones I bought back, I told him there was no way they were DCA's and were of no use to me. He refunded my cash no worries.

Billy's had some that were very close to the DCA ones and much better quality than the fakes.

cheers keith i'de read that post problem was it was after i'de bought one how can he get away with calling them dca surely he breaching dca's copyright cos there clearly not as good quality you would think they would check a simple thing like making sure the wires dont clash an not send the out it must be a general fault cos like i said my mate duz the same only probs with sending it back is then its costing me money cos it was sent in normal brown envelope which of is no good for return it supose i could get my mate to take me thru as its only whitley bay

That'll be the same seller as I bought from, I think his premises are in Seaton Sluice. I had bought 3 moulds so I wanted my cash back, not sure if he refunded the postage.

I've just bought an Adjusti mould that makes 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5oz leads and to be honest I can't fault it. The leads are not the bomb shape ones and have loops rather than long tails but who cares when you're probably going to just lose them in the rocks etc anyway. Cost me £7.25 on ebay, unused aswell so well pleased.
I have got a couple of original DCA bomb shape moulds and would'nt part with them as they do, imho, make the best leads.
