Nice of them to include or rather not delete the two M5 threaded holes on the back, just need to sort out some 1/2" to 8mm push fit fittings, the filter came with 6mm ones, I should have checked.
These?
Hope so as I've just ordered two!

For now I was just going to filter the external air feed so no need for extra holes but if you want to route the internal air feed through the filter then yes you will need a hole / holes and grommet (s)
You got me thinking now, should I go with your plan and to hell with the warrantee. Holes in the case you say? I don't know how they got there

Simple as posting it, you mean?I asked a German guy I know on another forum if there was an easy way of getting a pilot arc torch shipped from Germany. He didn't know
Perhaps he really can't be arzed with the complications of puppy dog.

He's in the UK. I thought he might know how to circumvent any import duties / grief etc.

I didn't have any trouble last week when I was booking a parcel. I found it quite easy to choose an appropriate code using the online tool. I'd start here:
EDITED:
UK Integrated Online Tariff: Look up commodity codes, duty and VAT rates - GOV.UK
The appropriate code for plasma cutting spares seems to be 8456 4000 00

There definitely is, it was raised here a couple of years ago.
That was before pubby dog nonsnese,, though.
Other way is find an amazon.de or ebay.de re-seller, some of whom are clued in with the paperwork to post into the UK.

This one from Amazon.de will post to me - perhaps UK too.
Just tried with a UK address - it will post.
The review underneath says it fits his Lidl box.

I may have ordered some more 8mm air line minutes after I made the post, so it did not take me long to come to the same concusion

Just went on eBay and searched for "P80" & "P80 torch". A few hits I'm guessing might be compatible as the SUSEME link of yours says P80 as the part number for the pilot torch.

I am confused now, the Lidl pilot arc torches have a return to a piggy back on the dins socket, those in the listing look to have a bit of flexible earth cable with a crimped on ring.
