No worries Blumby. My mower man is away for the weekend but I will be picking up more stuff next weekend. In his yard is a big pile of handles from mowers he has wrecked over the years. I'll see if what you need is among them. In one of his sheds he has the complete mower that the air filter came off which has been his own for mowing. He converted it to a snorkel because the filter constantly filled up with dust and grass being right down there in the action. He has the original catcher that has never been on the mower as well. It currently is a non runner and he says he'd like to get it going again but don't know if he can be talked into parting with it instead. He also has a heap of Victa cylinders that have been rebored but never used. Apparently they are all stamped with how much oversize they are. I am going to try and catalogue all the NOS bits he has over the coming weeks. If you need blade plates for any machine he has a stack of them that look almost brand new, possibly they are, but I'm not sure what machines they are for. I know he had at least one other mower that originally had the same filter but I don't know if he still has it, will ask for you.
regards,
Trevor
