    Just been reminded that we ought to mention DaveN and Brian at BDLicon for being in at the start of this No7 parts remanufacturing process.

    You are quite right DaveN had sets made and Brian was involved in sending them to the UKicon but sadly some arsxxxle in the USPS depot in the states stole the package and it never left.
    USPS will not insure parcels to the UK, probably as so many go missing at there end so we lost the bits and our money.
    I know that Brian did his very best to get it sorted but it was all to no avail. All I can say is that you live and learn.

    If the package went by USPS it probably had to go through the USPS center in New York if the package being delivered to the UK and the same in reverse. Those folks are a pack of thieves that would put Ali Baba to shame. While stationed in Germanyicon, I became a good friend of the commander of the Frenchicon Foreign Legion Recruiting depot in Strassbourg. The commander had given a beer stein from each of the French Foreign Legion regiments. I stupidly sent them by US APO mail back to the states. Of course on the customs declaration I put beer steins, my second mistake. Needless to say, the USPS bastar*s stolen the beer steins and had the nerve to cut the addresse label on the box out and deliver that piece of the box to me! Anyway I was Pi**ed off by the nerve of those bastar*s!! When I reported the incident to the USPS service inspectors all they could says is "We know we have a problem up there." From then on everything goes by UPS, Fedex or DHL.

    I have 4 ejectors left so one will be put aside. Not knowing what kind of interest there would be, the machinist made only a dozen. He did say, however, that if more were needed he would oblige.
