Grat wire for No.32 Mk3

[Kiwi]

Anybody know of an acceptable substitute for the grat wire in a No.32 Mk3 scope? Luckily the vertical post on my scope is present but unfortunately the grat wire is long gone.

Hoping there is a replacement option out there.

Thanks, Kiwi

I know Peter in England and Warren in Canada does work on them. PM them and ask if they have a spare piece.

I don't recall of someone in Australia or New Zealand that works on them, but I am half way around the world.

Thanks, I've tried to PM to Warren (at suggestion of Dr Roger Payne) a week ago, but no response as yet, hence my post.
