i'm using one at moment
i have not sanded it to fit properly yet and it is at least as fast as the riva one i had before it

I saw some of these at world finals last year the quality looked good, still have not found any for my platform .

the solas grate looks very similar to the R&D grate
although there is a slight difference
i only fitted the solas grate because i broke the riva grate
and i already know of the dramas with the R&D grate on the GPR'S

The Solas grates I saw were investment cast. The R&D products are sand cast huge difference in quality between these two methods of manufacture.

i'm not sure what the diference is in the 2 methods
the solas grate i have comes painted silver so i can not see the original surface but it does not look as smooth as the riva grate
looks to be as rough as the R&D grate under the paint
