Lightbulb Twisted Brass

Hi,

Bit of a long shot perhaps, a friend of mine is restoring an old hand cranked Dobbie Set & is looking for some twisted brass for it. Ideally it would be old stuff, rather than new but will consider whatever is about & of around 1" Dia or slightly bigger.

It would be in 4' lengths, which he would want 5 in total.

Any help gratefully received & many thanks in advance.
Please feel free to PM, email or post through the site.


Regards,

Dan

Try Rundles, 01205 480431,still building Gallopers and have a good stock of twisted brass, the traditional way of measuring twisted brass is diagonal ie corner to opposite corner.
