Spent a bit more time on this today, and a few emails to Rwap...

No worries! ;-) I'd have probably seen them on ebay anyway, and tried
one, given the problems I've had in the past with my membrane.
Pity the guy making them, didn't produce a test one first and at least
contact somebody with a SAM to try it.
I've done more testing, the new membrane does seem to have some issues with
regards to the actuation force - take it out the SAM keyboard assembly and
it works, but when fitted in the keyboard unless you batter the keys it
doesn't register. Also, I have also noticed holding the new membrane against
an old one is that when I line up the circular contact pads at one edge I
can then see at the far end of the new membrane the contacts are out by
about 2mm horizontally, that will also add further problems to the actuation
of them.
The membrane I have is now packaged up to get sent off for a refund....
