I’m looking for the upper parts for an Aries lift up windvane, which holds the air paddle and linkage rod. I would gladly settle for dimensions or photographs.

Have you tried ‘Aries Vane Spares’? I believe Helen is the daughter of Nick Franklin who developed the the Aries and she still has some spares - maybe drawings too?
I had a unit similar to yours and I recommend taking it apart occasionally to prevent the dissimilar metals welding it all together. Otherwise, it was great!

There's someone selling those bits on the Facebook Aries Windvane group. I think Helen has retired from the spares business? Could be wrong.
I have a 1980's Franklin lift-up in bits for spares, but no immediate prospect of organisng my stuff due to the chyna virus

Hello Goldie,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I did try contacting Helen Franklin but she is not responding to me or others about spare parts.
