Having broken one of the cylinders on my troublesome SL1K some time ago, and getting a replacement from another member, whilst trying to investigate a similar steaming problem with a 2nd SL1K, I've now broken the second cylinder on that troublesome SL1K.

It would appear that the previous owner used a very strong loctite or super glue to hold the retaining bolts in, as my attempt to drill out the broken bolts has failed.

So what I really just need is the cylinder block, with the attaching bolt if possible (the current one you get from the Mamod spares is too long and does not have enough of the threaded portion to shorten it).

I'm hoping someone may have one lurking in their spare parts box. Please PM me if you have one (as it is only the MSS cylinders that are now available as spares).

Once I've sorted out a working lubricator, it is my intention to fit these cylinders with the 'O' ring upgrade kit.
