Didn't cost me much from a local breakers, now where near the £140 new price anyway. Draw back was that it needed a bit of a clean up. It still had the factory part sticker on it!
With the grip removed I completely stripped the unit down and cleaned all parts ready for re-assembly, it came up quite well.
I had thought I would need to replace the pawl release spring (in the handle) as it was very stiff before but luckily after cleaning and lubricating with silicone spray it works well.
The whole thing was reassembled using copper grease, whether this is right or wrong I don't know but I figured it could only help.
That looks a bit better.
I'm not sure what to do about the grip, I like the clean look of the plain chrome however as it was not intended to be seen its got a couple of notches cut in it. My plastic grip is a bit worn so I could just buy a new one or come up with something a bit different, plenty of time to think about that anyway.
