Brass, bronze, or gunmetal, depends on what the foundry person says.

Is anyone considering making up the insulators?

Lynn, Kevin

Happy to help with the pattern work for new cast parts if that helps? Kevin, I'll have to have a look at the parts next time we catch up.

Small order springs in the UK might be worth a try for the springs you need....even bespoke ones aren't that expensive if you get a small batch.

Hi, I have emailed, small order springs and asked for a quote on a run of eight springs. Lynn, I can lend Ben my aerial parts if you like and we can get them done here, but I dont think ben needs these particular parts for his carrier.

Default Spring quote

Hi, Just got a quote for 8 springs made from an original at £42 each, I am having two made if anyone wants one let me know ASAP. We need a minimum of six more.

KEVIN.

Default Casting price

I have had a price to cast up the two toothed parts of the aerial base.
The piece where the chain attaches will need machining. This will be up to the new owner.
The price I ended up with was $200.00 NZ (may be a little less) This price is for both parts.
Kevin I will ask for a separate price.
