Finding the pipe wasn't too bad but finding the right stem, well that's something else.

Pop up your piccies or links to stems, could be useful.
 
Yeah, that's 64 million million million million miliion million million million million dollar question, ain't it. Most pipe stems are of the skinny kind, which doesn't always look right. And those that are of the thicker kind, don't always fit the tank neatly, alas.

My Musgrave currently has the Ephro True tank on it and the previously unused stem from the Guardian 1 40w epipe, which would've looked bang on...except there's a gap of 0.5cm between the tank top, and main body of the stem. I gotta find another tank that has a flush top for that stubby stem, me thinks.

I'm too knackered tonight, but i'll try get a piccy up tommorow, to show you what i mean.

This one is from Holland. I didn't see the rose on it when it was ordered and it stank of strawberry...

I like the stem, something like that would work with my Guardian 2.
Is it from the UK?

Yes - made in the UK. I bought from Amazon - don't know where else you can get them. A little dearer than some, but very nicely machined and a good length.

Looks very similar to one I got from Fasttech.
