Still looking!

Measured the pipe again - this time with a micrometer ........... 7.93mm. That's better, it's a 5/16ths compression fitting with a hose tail that's required. Already ordered. Many thanks for the advice and the ensuing discussion. For the record, my boat has a very small galley area and the...

Thanks everyone for the advice and opinions. As far as the hose is concerned, it's going to be the orange HP option because I've already completed all the pipe and hose work other than the final connection to the cooker. The compression to hose-tail or (Fulham nozzle) is my favoured option, but...

I'm installing a Plastimo butane cooker and need to make the final connection to orange gas hose. The hose is 8mm internal, which has been fine for other connections with hose-tails etc. but the tubing on the cooker, when measured with a vernier, is 7.5mm and even with two Jubilee type clips...

Last time I wore mine was four years ago on a oldies trip to the gritstone edges. The local young cragrats couldn't believe what I was putting on. They were trying to decide if I was Mallory or Irvine! Great for climbing, but not for falling. I now have a far more boll**k friendly harness! It...

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I need to replace a broken 14" bronze chainplate. Can anyone help?
