Dont forget you need to drill a hole in them to fit the "bean-can tab" - right at the bottom where the water collects too.. rolleyes

For that reason I bought Stainless Steel ones and made the tab out of a stainless jubilee clip... they are not as bright polished as the nice Chrome ones but they are not going to rust...

K wink
