tommorichards Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Im looking for some pickup eyelets And some (probably) 42 awg wire. Besides Stewmac in the USA, are there any local (UK) sources for these parts. I want to fashion my own pickups, and these would be the only things i can see having a problem getting hold of.

The eyelets were bugging me... seen 'em somewhere... couldn't think where... Scalextric! - they connect the motor wires to the brushes.

tommorichards Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 How approximately? And do you have any pics of the eyelets? How close are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scalextric eyelets as fitted to my GTO are 3mm long, 2mm O/Dia with a 3mm flange: P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
