Hi Lynn

Just a thought but is there any reason it can't be made from a section of steel pipe or thick walled tubing ?

Although I have the smaller insulated base as well as parts of the larger I always had it in mind to turn new ones out of hardwood (even bought a wood lathe to do it) and make the toothed part to fit the insulator and my cast brass ribbed base plate. All theoretical of course...

Cheers

Phill

Can I suggest that when the time comes for Lyn to make a move with this, that we pay him a deposit, (or the amount in full if he has a quote). This would prove our commitment and avoid him getting stuffed with unclaimed goods. Ron

I agree with Ron. Our hobby is expensive enough. Happy to pay.

Default Antenna

Hi, Just finished making this part for the antenna, just need to drill the oil lubrication hole and its done, will post up some pics of the 'bump stop' part i am making this week, i need to make another of these, if anyone in the uk wants to borrow these parts let me know, the originals i will have to return soon. The spring I think will have to be custom made unless anyone knows of something similar we can use i.e. BSA moterbike kick stand spring??.

kev.
