   Had a search on here and moaners but every reply seems to be that they wont all fit..lol
   
   So, just wondered if anyone could recommend one they've used specifically that they know fits a vts head?
   
   Thanks

   i bought a double action Sykes Pickavant one, works perfectly. Its true though, some VSCs are too shallow to work on the VTS head.
