Does anyone know of a shop that supplies the springs and rubber/nylon grommet things for the brush holder posts?

I made my own springs and turned up a set of bobbins in Acetel when I wanted some a couple of years ago.

brilliant, thanks all.
Although this sort of thing makes me think we ought to have portions of the forum - for instance a 'dynamo' section where any specs people find useful (when replacing the smallest bits) get stored...

Are we saying that I've made something but you've bought. Bloody Hell, mate Wink Wink

That’s the difference between coming from Yorkshire and the South.

Yes, but only the trivial stuff Steve!
Made the line boring tooling for the machining centre cam bearing last week.

I found a box full of new brush springs yesterday. I think they are from a Delage North East unit, but may work. if you can contact by email through the forum I will measure and send a photo.
