Thanks Max for your information.

I think I may give the eBay ones a go (it can’t hurt) as I have now stripped down and looked at the alloy part and they seem to be quite good still (to my untrained eye anyway)!!

I’ve had this mower for close to 28 years (it’s moved house with me a Couple of times).it was a family mower. It was always my intention to restore it - and now I’m making it a project for my son and I (and he’s loving it!!😊)! have some knowledge and practical skills - but limited in some ways too.

Those attachments from your first response have been very helpful. Thank you so much!

I’ll see how I go. As I said - it’s all a good bonding & learning project anyway.
