Worked just right.

I own a Black & Decker Grasshog XP GH5000 Type 5. Which Everybody including B&D says that it doesn't exist so I ordered the one for Type 4 and it fitted exactly. Except for the spool but otherwise I'm very satisfied for your help and prompt delivery of the parts. Thank you very much!

Just what was needed!

The replacement part worked fine with my old equipment. It might be good to sell the orange part separately from the black part, only because it seems that the orange part is the one most susceptible to breakage.

Tabs on original cap broke off. New cap didn\'t fit housing. Bought complete set.
