thanks for that
was totally unsure so i sent them back for a refund....
on inspection they were both badly stained on the skirts so obviously have lost there coating to help bed in
they could have been o.k but on a new rebuild i wasn't going to take any chances..
cheers

Beware. Shinko is an anagram of Shonki...
