Be careful. There are different lengths for each series and consist of two different components.  You have the stainless top cover, and you have the steel core which does all the work.   The steel rusts away and the stainless splits as you probably know (I think most 37 owners know this :o)

It took me a long time to find a decent stainless and I eventually (with the help of other fantastic 37 owners on this forum) had to use the remains of 3 different cores to make something that worked.
We were swapping bits across the Atlantic for some time ;D
