when I needed spares for a Clarke motor I tried here, https://www.clarkeservice.co.uk/parts.shtml
They couldn’t help as it was a part that shouldn’t ever need replacing but they may have what you need

They are quite expensive IIRC

My old 240v cheap router finally packed in so i have gone for the Dewalt 18v one i promised myself last year and a very very warm hair dryer.

 

[Anguz]

the hair dryer is a cracking bit of kit... had one at work

 

[Jim2007]

Today i Acquired;

a nice set of piston rings.

had to take an engine to bits today from work, was told to hone the bore and replace rings (among other things) and the rings were in pretty good nick, so...

I go through Machine Mart, not sure if you end up at Clarke spares.

Don't bother phoning, drop them an email

This rocked up today

It will replace a very crappy torch that I'll not be sad to see gone

 

[indy4x]

Pair of seats out of a Celica, they were cheap cos of the damage to the driver's seat.

Planning on fitting them to the Cherokee, if it works out will look for some better ones

 

[Brad93]

Apparently it does, yet those claiming it does seem unable to provide any real corroboration of their claims, so, if we take an objective view which is worse the citric acid or a cocktail of chemicals?

Yeah of course they are because we’re not buying their products. Think what Bilt Hamber, Evaporust, all them types of products are losing out on as more people learn about citric acid. I can’t see that a bit of citric acid combining with iron oxide has anything in it that is dangerous.

 

[MattF]

Yeah of course they are because we’re not buying their products.

It's the same type of tactic as when, say for example paint manufacturers, say you must only use their thinners with their product. They want you to buy their products.

 

[daleyd]

Except that there’s no actual evidence that companies are “moving away from using it”.(citric acid) No one else seems to have heard of this claim and it makes no sense as it’s a natural product.

Clarke's spare parts have an address which is attached to my local Machine Mart

At last a man with taste , it makes people mellow happy and humerous instead of fractious and pinched/ punched faced .

For some reason even a hafen of the Scotch stuff gives me gut rot for days on end .
I suppose it is the cheapness of th Scotch only being distilled twice that is the cause of the problem, whereas the Bushmills triple distilled single malt 30 yr old goes down like a sweet alcohol free kiddies malt beer. Till it catches up with you 1/5 of the way down the bottle

You're saying there is a good one.....................?

Lightweight

 

[Chillitt]

For no apparent reason someone has sent me a Charcoal Briquette. not an actual charcoal briquette, but what looks like a large slice of black pudding but is actually cheddar cheese with 'vegetable ash' in it. No, I have no idea either..

The twice/three times thing isn't always true. Springbank distillery in Campbeltown produce three whiskies: Longrow (distilled twice), Hazelburn (distilled three times) and Springbank (distilled "two and a half times", which I presume on the basis of no evidence whatsoever means that half is distilled three times and half twice).

I like Irish whiskey for a change, but I generally find it doesn't have the depth and variety of flavour that you get in a dram of good Scotch whisky.
