I’ve had some luck amongst the more enlightened brigade, picking up the odd useful item here and there with some bartering. It doesn’t harm to ask as there are still sympathetic, generous and benevolent types out there who will release stuff at a reasonable cost or some trading.
I’ll widen my search pattern if I don’t have any luck on the forum.

I've put out a request to the Scottish Classic MCC. Lots of old guys with lovely old Chronometric fitted bikes, some guys have hoards of spares dating back years. If I get any response I'll let you know. They are bound to ask what bike it is for. Fingers crossed.
taysidedragon:
Found one. Just waiting to hear what he wants for it.
PM your email add. and I'll send pics.
Laverda Dave:
There was a guy who used to attend all the Kempton Park Autojumbles but I haven't seen him for a while. He repaired chronometric Speedos, I think he went under the name of PJ Speedos. Maybe worth a trawl on the internet?
Sesman:
Thanks, Dave.
I know all the repairers, at least the main ones around Nottingham and Mansfield; its spares I need. Most, quite rightly, are not keen to divest themselves of hard won spares…it’s a diminishing stock situation. Basically, I’m familiar with all the main repairers and the main supplier to those businesses, but even they cannot source some items, especially those I need.
The purpose of my request was to winkle out any long forgotten husks buried deep in workshop recesses gathering rust, dust and cobwebs. Looks like I’m out of luck.
I’m also speaking to the clock repair community and it’s possible I can get some parts made.
Cheers
Pip
