Wanted PRIMUS 96 spares

[Mervg]

I’m trying to find spares for a Primus 96. I need :
Vaporiser tube ( lipstick type)
Meths cup
Cage to fit on top

Basically the burner part.
Hopefully someone may be able to help.
Cheers Merv

Hi Merv.

I should have those parts for you. I’ll check the stash when I get home for you.

 

[Mervg]

That would be great - thanks

Good luck with sourcing the vaporizer tube, hens teeth! They are about £35, when in stock.
The cheapest replacement ones advertised were made in Korea. One on eBay at the moment is on for £52 - dreamer!!
By cage do you mean the burner plate or the burner head? Plates are 10 and the head is 20.
See Base Camp Stoves for spares.

Spares - Also Juliands on eBay.

Thanks for the details, wow prices are high !!!!
It’s the head I need.
Looks like I will have to rethink at those prices. May not be worth renovating ???
Hopefully FerlasDave might have some better news for me….

Yes the prices of stoves have gone through the roof in the last couple of years.
Keep your eyes open for spares if FD can’t help. Good luck with it.

Ps, you will probably need a washer kit for the pump , filler cap and travel cap.

 

[Mervg]

Oh no !! It gets worse !! Need a bank loan at this rate. Beginning to wish I hadn’t found it.

The next time I am cutting washers I will make some for you but I have not got any spare pump ones.

 

[Mervg]

That’s very kind of you. Every little helps as they say.

 

[FerlasDave]

Sorry I did have a chance to pull the box out but not been able to sort anything yet. Good thing is I do have what you need, just need to clean them down and get them packaged up for you.

 

[Mervg]

That sounds promising. Thanks so much. There’s no hurry. Cheers Merv

@Mervg , I have not forgotten about the washers, have got the flu so everything on hold at the moment.
Then I will look for my 96 and make some copies.

Hope you get better soon. I’m not in a hurry, more important to get well. Thanks for the update.
