AndyThomas Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Already submitted a question about an old Caledonian 123 that I bought with a pretty shattered base plate so the specific question is.  Mine has the older base plate part number x283. Does anyone know if the newer X9648 part can be modified to fit?Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 It's only 99 pence from Lendons. Have a look on line and see if it looks right. At that price it's worth a try surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyThomas Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 99 pence is worth a shot isnt it? Thanks for the info and any more info would be appreciated if someone has an original x283 for sale or a link to one?Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I'm thinking that fabricating a replacement from plastic card may be feasible... As long as it's oil resistant.... I think that one major difference in the new type base plate, and the original, is the axle retaining blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Spare Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Enter the part number in the search box at the top right corner of their Home page, wait a few seconds and it comes up.GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyThomas Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Many thanks for the link walkingthedog. I got nothing when I typed in originally and tried several times so not sure what happened. If it works I may even make some more for people as there is obviously a need.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It's a pain isn't it when no matter how hard you try, something doesn't work, then along comes some bright spark who says well it worked for me first time. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
