Hi Lindsay,
I guess that is another option I hadn't thought of. I think the Honda blades you can get in the same length as the Victa ones but I don't think they are quite as heavy duty but that is irrelevant as long as they do the job. I might look at the Honda idea when I repair the next blade carrier. I have considered getting some carriers laser cut but it is a bit of messing around with getting the hump in the middle done to go over the bearing, that will require a disc welded in and getting clearance for the bolt will become an issue. Getting the half round for the Honda bolts will be easier
