Re: Mamod sp5
You'll need Pop riveter here: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__po...pop+riveter&ff4=229447_229448 and some copper blind rivets (make sure there blind rivets!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAMOD-SPARE..._trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_788wt_907 sight glass: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mamod-Sight...d208b176&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 |

yes, those items should do, make sure you use copper rivets. I've used normal rivets in the past, and they rusted right out of it again

Forest classics sell complete assemblys, as I believe but check first, Chas steam (Paper and steam galore)
Pictured is the screw on ones, but Im sure Forest would have the rivet ones as well (I think its the same bar the actual rivets) The rivets must be copper blind ended ones http://www.forest-classics.co.uk/sghtglskit.htm |
