[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 733290, member: 310216"] No, I think I understood. But the actual Rayburn supplied ones have only lasted a winter and a half at best (well two of them anyway). It boils down to what price a French foundry could cast them for and what their minimum quantity would be. I'd happily pay for a dozen of each which would give me three sets of top bars and four sets of bottom bars. (There's seven in the grate) I'll see what the quality of the replacements is like. I have a feeling that knowing how much French artisans charge (due to the high social payments to the French government) for their services it may end up being cheaper to keep ordering from the UK. Unless I can ask them to cast replacements with a higher tungsten content or whatever would make them more heat resistant and increase their working life. [/QUOTE]
