Looking a bit like a 1930's Vickers factory now, Colin.

Lynn, I think Hugh Davis got that mould but there is a couple of forklift places here that can re-rubber for me.
Dave, it is looking a bit like that of course that's not a bad thing.

Hi Colin. What is wrong with your gun?
I have a contact address for a guy in the states that supplied a new piston and clip for my second rivet gun. I will find the email address if you want it. (contact supplied by Michael R.) My two guns are both 1 1/16" bore. One is 4" stroke, the other an 8" stroke. Pistons are different lengths. I could send you a gun to use, but that would be expensive. I'm sure you can sort one out closer.

James, I might just do that if I can change my phone to B&W.
Lynn, I have two guns, both very old and I purchased very cheap years ago. I would say the bores are worn as well as the pistons and the valves only work sometimes. As much as I like to get the best out of everything I have, I decided that as I have a lot of rivets to do on the two tanks it was the best decision to get a brand new one. Not to mention, I was trying to do a rivet the other day and the gun kept stopping and my wife was at the door listening to me cursing it  , so she chirped in and said, " oi' instead of getting yourself all flustered and angry, why don't you just go and get a new one". So, as I'm not one to argue with my wife  , I did just that. Purely to keep her happy of course

These couple of pieces are for the underside transmission cover. One tank has a badly rusted one and the other was missing completely.

It must be surrounded by some rubber I assume as it was water tight.
