Double check with supplier if those shanks will work on taps with flow control (if you have taps with it).
May save you some $$$. I learnt it the hard way :/

Those shanks from MBW are exactly what i have been looking for too but will they only work with certain taps ? Also is there anyway to remove the nipple and stick on a JG fitting ? ;D

Let me check what i have here and also locate some taps and i will give you a shout,and many thanks BB. Biggest issue is going to be finding four taps with flow control for under 100 euro. :(
