I have a pair of these but they are my patterns if I need to reproduce any so they are not for sale ,sorry.
If you can drum up enough interest over there it is worth pulling one apart to have the inserts made up. The end caps were brass or aluminium. I could possibly contact my machinist and find out the cost of running some more up as I am sure he will have the program saved. Rob.....................rnixartillery.

An interesting item has arrived.
But what do you think it is? 20170310_185153.jpg Perhaps a precision spring? 20170310_185514-1.jpg A fuel can? 2017-03-10 20.19.44.jpg Maybe a canvas stretcher, with wooden poles? 20170310_204409.jpg Last clue. Yes, it does say WTF. W.T.F & SON LTD 1/1940

Another undesirable complication is that the sector piece inside hits the strengthening I had to apply for reinforcing of the repair patch. This greatly reduces the extent the sector ca travel. I believe I've lost about 45 degrees of movement. I do have a plan to retake some of that loss, by making change to the sector itself. That is assuming it can be welded. For that reason, I am looking for another of those pieces to make the change to. If I use my own, and cock it up, then I'm stuffed! Best to use another to play with, so if you have another of those, we should talk! I will make a stand for the assembly, but will hold off for a little while, until I know whether I can get that last piece i need or have to make one. The former, I hope. David, the quantity (and quality) of the information I've received from you guys should be a tremendous help in making that system. Your help is appreciated. Until i get my act together, I will have a little play with tidying up a ground anchor/spade cover I bought from Holland, or is tha Netherlands these days? My cover has some significant dents on it, but is very usable. The attaching threaded rod & wingnuts are still present and in reasonably good shape. As stated earlier, I'm grateful for every piece I buy, and i believe it was Rob N. that said original parts in non-perfect condition is FAR BETTER than starting from scratch. The spade cover, amongst a multitude of other parts, is not something I could EVER make! For now, my sight carrier assembly is sitting on a couple of rags on my living room floor, for want of a safer place to put it. I think I have about a fortnight before my Wife gets sick of it being there. The canvas cover for it, will be made shortly. That's one of those 'inside' jobs that I can do, provided Mrs B allows me access to her sewing machine again. That is by no means guaranteed.

Do I sense a 'date night' for Mrs. B might be in the works, Tony?

Jeezus man, we went out for lunch on saturday. Surely that's enough?!?!
Maybe I'll just buy my own domestic sewing machine.
