It's been a slow day

2 of my 250's have the long VIVA. Didn't know they were rare.

Lucky you, they are. Not ones from me eh?

No. The 2 Graphites have the tiny one, and the last one I got from you is the medium size. The larger one is on my 250V, and one of my other standard 250's that I've had for quite awhile. They are all great. However, but I will keep my eye out for the larger VIVA ones from now on...lol.

The G250V only came with the one flavour.

I just bought two very rough G250s only because they had the long handle flow vanes

I have replaced the older style circlip held VIVA vanes with newer snap-in ones on older G250s, and it did work. I believe that the G250V air barrel can be retrofitted into an older G250 or even G200B, but maybe you need the newer jam nut. If I could find a G250V air barrel at a reasonable price (which is to say forget it, lol) I'd be happy to try it on one of my G200Bs. I might even still have a spare adjusting knob.

Yes, I too have successfully used the snap in G250HP flow vanes in a G250, it takes some effort to get them in though.
