Evening all,
I have been sent a piece of 'mystery metal' to make some heli parts

work
with. However it isnt... which leads me to suspect its not Ti but a
7000
series Alloy.

that they no longer stock it.
Farnell have 2 or 3 available at far greater cost or a carton of a dozen is
available at many distibutors.

Anyone got a B68 belt or two?
Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:18:21 +0100
As header, need one or two B68 used or new belts. Got to make up a foursome on a
generator, the three existing belts are quite usable.
Beer tokens available :-))
