Hi to all,
Thanks Eric and Boncuk, I finally sourced the original part from Farnell, then spent another 3 hours looking through their awful website just to get to the minimum order limit.
It really is dismal to try and find things on there, I wish they would do a more friendy version.
No news on the date of op yet Eric but they did say it would most likely be after christmas, just wish I could get some glasses with a prismatic lens or something, mine are b**ger all use now as with my head down I'm just looking over the top of them.
Anyway as the mother wrote back to her soldier son (well my dad always quoted it!), pig dead son, soldier on. hehehe
Al
