you may be hard pressed.....we are all after them.... Kevin Powles may know of someone that makes fantastic REPRO ones....mind you need the cast mounts on the hull to put the pintle (pogo stick) in.

Cheers

Is this what you want?

Rick DeBruyn · #4 16-09-10, 00:42

It’s precisely what I’m looking for…is it for sale?

Lynn Eades · #5 16-09-10, 01:47

In a word "No". Sorry

I'm looking for the small square bracket in Lynns picture above.
It's the wall mounted bracket the pogo stick goes in.
Anybody got one or reproducing?

I believe Ben is in the process of making a pattern to start a run of these, he may be worth contacting, he is on the carrier forum buddy... like i say loads of us need them hehehehe.

Hey Rick

Any chance you could also have the thumb screws cast up. These are the ones that hold the lower engine cover panles in place. You need 8 per carrier.

Likewise Rick.. i have the wire covers though......perhaps Barry and I could share some postage.

HI Rick, same again- I would be very grateful for a copy of the plans for some of those items- let me know if you want something for the trouble :u)
Best wishes from Ireland mate

I too would be keen to obtain two of the cast bren sockets for the Mk1

Thanks for all the interest in the parts, will update the site when news comes in. We’re in queue for a bronze pour, also to try and keep the costs low they have placed us in a lower priority. It will take a little longer to get our parts but will be a little easier on the pocket book.

Jordon, I will think about what is involved with the lower cover thumb screws and let you know, I need a few as well.

David on the plans; I believe your referring to the thread “Armor CAD Drawings” http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/foru...t=13100&page=2 I don’t have access to the DXF files, at some point drawings could be made available…will post here if that can happen. The casting patterns were made by a 80 year old retired pattern builder and are not in electronic format…he made them the old-fashioned way, out of wood.

Best, Rick
