Hi TonyT and TexanTomcat2.

I was looking through old posts of mine to close out one part found and still looking for others when I found this.

Thank you for your responses – I never saw them at the time. I must have gone into one of my intense spells of occupation by other things 🙂

So a late thank you for your help. I did manage to sort the pivot bolt and bobbin nut problem.

Cheers.

That was a Venom.

best bet is to contact Bruce Gordon at GB Air Spares

Thinking out of the box, could you not do a swop or trade if you have one with the guy that owns the Vampire at Brunty as that flew in servicable a couple of years back I believe,
