roachy Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 There seems to be a bit missing from this big meccano set i like to call my 90. I'm in the process for putting my defender tx box back in as i was using a disco one. i seem to have misplaced the bit between the selector and the bit in my hand (see pic) and i cant even remember what it looks like, does anyone have a pic of one or know where i might be able to get one? or does anyone have one sitting on a shelf gathering dust? i tried using the one off the disco box but it has a different selector, so i thought i'll swap selectors over only to find they have different types of fork, so i thought i'd swap forks over only to find the grub screw location hole is in the wrong place! why do they change these things!! Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 no, its the defender TB going back in, the disco one was like pic 2, afaik its the original 1984 box. I'm not confused really I said item 11 in 2nd pic, because that's what my 110 TB has on it & it matches the fork end your shown holding, don't forget to fit the nylon tophat washers.

western Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yep, don't know how a price like those can be justified. you could ask Ashcroft Transmission, if they have any 2nd hand items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
