With the fluid I always see references to making sure it is "type 2"

I never see 2 types so assume the one linked is correct?

Thanks in advance

Just go to:
http://www.cameraclean.co.uk/index.php

They sell kits so you don't have to buy individually, unless you prefer to.

The E2 is now (long been) phased out.

The Eclipse type2 was discontinued last year by Photo Solutions. They found the new Eclipse did not pose a problem on tin oxide sensors which was the reason they made the E2 fluid. There is a PDF on their web site which confirms this.

The E2 took a bit longer to dry and tended to produce a few smears because of this.

The list looks fine, although I have never used the glue spatulas. I personally use one of the Copperhill spatulas designed for the sensor size.

Good luck. It really is not that difficult, have a try on a filter to get the feel for it first.
