Hello Peter
I have a Broadhurst Clarkson Scout Regiment Spotting Telescope. However the glands require repacking. (presently packed with 4by2)
In your article you quote Felt Hatters Green as the material used by the MOD. I can get felt by the yard-some thick-some thin-some dense and some open textured.
Would you have a description/approximate thickness or be able to specify a weight for the felt. Or would an old felt trilby be the answer?
The manual says the felt is impregnated-If so with what is it impregnated.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards and thanks for the many informative articles you have on the site.
