Hi just been cleaning rust off the arms and linkages and noticed there's little plastic parts in the howls just wondering can you still get the plastic pieces or have I got to buy new linkages and arms?

are you on about the covers that go on the spindles before the arms go on number 23

Not on the spindle part on the arms that go on circlips they're small white plastic pieces I managed to pry them out gently do you think I should re use

need a pic but if they are ok refit them.

I'll get some pics in daytime in primer atm if I could get hold of those plastic things as long as they're cheap be false economy to put old in I think. Which would you use a 60's set up or a 70's set up have all arms motors and everything

you used to be able to get them BUT only in late 12v style there are differant sizes.
