And the internals for your inspection. Look forward to seeing what you come up with, I might even have a go at knocking up a wooden one up myself

Cheers! Just the job. I'm not sure when I'll get around to is as it's been pointed out I've been spending like a sailor on shore leave and I need to get the surplus to me stuff sold! Oops!. I need to source some 2/ 2.5mm stainless or at least springy wire. Not so long ago any decent model shop would have it for model plane undercarriages I guess it will be internet job then.

ATB and thanks

Would the spokes of an old bicycle wheel do the job? You may be able to get hold of one of those.

 

[tombear]

An excellent idea, thanks! A son may even have a old mountain bike wheel I can chop up.

An old modified spring rake head may also work.

Just rake the bush!

Coat hanger wire. Most commercial laundry businesses here will sell any number of different gauge wire clothes hangers.
I like the idea of the bicycle spokes.

Stainless TIG filler rod comes in 2.4mm diameter. Would that be an option?

 

[tombear]

It would probably do the job but I like the idea of the bike spokes as I should be able to source a wheels worth for free. Unfortunately the son who's mates are also all into Mountain bikes is starting a week of nights so wont be able to scrounge a dead wheel for me to cannibalise. I may see one laying about. I dare say I could take a grappling hook to the canal and find any number of them as well as the odd Glock or sawn off shot gun.....

I've got some old bicycle spokes in stainless, really handy.
I've used them for making lightweight fold up pot stands (brass tube for hinges), and a fish mouth-type spreader/pot hanger for my stainless Nalgene.
Amongst other bits and bobs.
