C Comet Well Known and Active Forum User VOC Member 17 February 2019 #3 Don’t worry to much mate, it’s only temporary. I was chatting to a friend about the conrods. I said forged, he said not. In truth I have no idea.

Robert Watson Well Known and Active Forum User VOC Member 17 February 2019 #4 Cut out from some sturdy cardboard?
C Comet Well Known and Active Forum User VOC Member 17 February 2019 #5 Well that’s pretty handy then. Even I should be able to make a replacement rod.
C Comet Well Known and Active Forum User VOC Member 17 February 2019 #6 Amazon cardboard and a lovely set of needle rollers. Job done.
