Post by alan.moore »

Does anyone know of a source of these clips or maybe has one,( any condition) they could pass on . Drags have been on back order for a while now

Hi
I'm sure I have a rechromed one somewhere in my shed.
I'll look for it over the weekend

Alan found this...
I'am quite sure it is a genuine old clip, but it requires a little repair due to a crack, (see photograph) a bit of silver solder will do the job.
Can give dimensions if required

I have found mine but not the cable to enable me to print a picture It is the same but I think the Clip end has been opened out a bit, other than that it is good.

The one on my RH500 I made out of sheet brass in 1990 and had it chromed. So far, it has done the job ok.
