Halkey Roberts auto lifejacket salt bobbins

[Cloven]

I am looking to replace my Halkey Roberts automatic life jacket salt bobbins. I am pretty sure that the ones I have used are red but all the ones I can find on-line are yellow. Have they simply changed the colour?

Thanks for any replies

I've had a couple of life jackets with Halkey Roberts mechanisms, since 2005, and the salt bobbins on those, which I've changed a couple of times, have always been yellow.

If yours are red then they are long overdue to be changed. HR bobbins have been yellow for some years. They have a lifespan of 3 years from purchase, with, I believe, an allowed shelf life of three years. The date of manufacture is printed on the bobbin.
