Hi Dave, Two things: a. Exactly what piece is this? Can you point out a number in the partsref? ( accessible from the lugnet homepage) b. I'm not sure if this is a piece often used by pirateers but you might have a better chance of finding what you (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.pirates)
