I've got a spare set here Aido, they're a 4 gauge set but 1 plays up sometimes - not a problem really, you just swap the hose from 1 to the other, takes 2 seconds.
They're all yours if they're any good to you.

i have some mercury ones i got off ebay that were empty, lucky i knew a bloke that had a jar of mercury sitting in his garage :)

if you do come across some old mercury ones you can get the mercury out of electrical "valves" (i think) on e-bay.
