Can you make a drawing of it and send it to me? Same for the elevation nut, though that one would probably be much easier. My only worry about that one would be fitting to the existing screw. I would need very good measurements of the threads, or perhaps it would be easy enough to just make BOTH parts as new.
Thanks Ken - I'll draw it up and let you know the final dimensions. I don't care if it is not an exact replica. If I ever sell the machine I can jack up the price for "custom parts"
There is a new member here (stejac) who contacted me, as he has a FV1 as well. He lives in Melbourne but work OS but has kindly agreed to measure up the trip feed bracket, when he is back in Aus (February). I really need to know where the pivot point for the lever is, as well as the size and position of the slot where the lever actuates the plunger.
