Olly, go to the ICA website where you'll find lots of useful info and links, and go to the BCA website which is also good.  The other really useful source is the yahoo group.

BCA

ICA

Yahoo group

Plus loads of excellent video on youtube and the ICA site.

Olly, I have a manky old Banks one currently covering the other half''s Bonito.  If you can find a cover for the Bonito - roughly the same size as a laser, I would do you a straight swap.  My cover is intact and would be fine if reproofed.

Sorry Wingwang i hadnt passed on the details of your undercover to olly either!  Olly I have a GP cover here which may be of use although its faily old and Chalrie has a spare Merlin cover floating about.  Think you may have to bite the bullet mate and buy a new one!
