500 engine strip
florence:
ok

As a wild card option Bemw in Derby do all sorts of clever metalwork and engineering, or did when I last visited. Hopefully you'll find a source for the good one you need but at some point and probably soon it may prove to be the case that reclaiming a worn one is going to be the way to go. Posting a picture might well help identify the required part - slim though it may be, there is a chance I have a spare that is getable at - I have 3 plastic crates of 500 and 550 bits in addition to the engines and whilst I've no room or time to strip an engine, rummaging through a box might prove do able.

I have located one from the USA, will post a picture of old one when I have time to take it out of the crankcase.

Get a small round magnet on a stick (mine is Snap -On) to get the pins out which run in the drum grooves and also note which way out the "R" clips go as many an unhappy hour has been spent try to remember and find the one that pinged across the workshop!!
