More expensive and has the same plastic insert that breaks if you use a screwdriver.

Look at the front of the 3tj's ... Get the chrome bit off and pull out the plastic part with some pliers. Do the same on the GS one and then reassemble

the slingshot inset is metal and unlikely to break in the future so only Os will need replacing if it leaks.
