Moore & Wright disaster

When you have a piece of high tensile steel pipe that matches the dimensions of that spring, I do not see any difficulty in making one, before heat treating it can be turned, filed and drilled without any problems.

Only thing is, make sure, there are no scratches left in the inner/outer surface because that is asking for breaking, I got some experience with this in gunlock springs.

That's strange. I have ordered from their website both for UK and French delivery with no problems.

Good result, Paul

Sorry to hear about Farnell

... Where did you buy ?

MichaelG.

Yes, I asked a simple question about payment which they would have been able to answer very easily but when I get no answer within a reasonable time, I will not further bothering them. There are more companies to do business with in Europe.

I bought them on Ebay, the name of the shop is batterieplus, a German shop.

I have a later type of counter micrometer

.

Thanks Paul

Useful to know

MichaelG.

Thanks Peter, will keep an eye open for similar piping.

Geoff - Fully recovered from yesterday's headache. GD or the heat?

Update; This morning I received the batteries . I simply could slide off the plastic sleeved frem them, remove the pins were necessary- left one pin at the + and one at the - and bent those backward and the package slid without problems into the battery holder of my Micro 2000. switched it on and it worked!

Next thing is to find out about reloading them when empty, perhaps the with the micrometer supplied charger will work?

I was ready for 25 Euro incl. shipping costs!

Paul

I have gone back through your previous post on the battery subject but cannot see where you have identified what it is you actually bought.

Please could you post a link or part number so that others with a Micro 2000 can benefit.

Once I see what the actual battery/cells are, I should be able to say whether the standard charger is suitable.

What I have bought are 2 VARTA ,Ni-MH ,2/V250H ,+2,4V cells.There is a green hard plastic cover around the 2-cell packs that easily slides off in one direction. With the cover on, the diameter is slightly too large.

Great News, Paul

Glad it's all working-out.
