Default NOS nipples

Turn the nipple out on the lathe.
I believe Brian Asbury may have the mounting plate with nipple as NOS.
Remember the fastener backing plate strip, TL 13069 which is on the front of the armour.

Rich, had a rummage in the carrier parts warehouse and located one, I can post it up to you or post when I send the down pipes if you let me have your flanges first.

Rick, I have found two now so have enough for my carriers so no need to make them for myself, I am sending one to Richard to borrow to copy, can let you borrow the other but you already have a pile of stuff on 9 month loan.
