Hi,
I’m looking for a pair of slide clips with a 2mm post.
Brass would be best but not a show stopper, post size is key.
Please feel free to pm me if you have some you can part with.
Thanks in advance,
Radazz

Re: Wanted slide clips
B & L used an awfully small pin size.....right into the next century. I would be very surprised if you find any others, than the real McCoy that would fit.
They are 5/64". B & L was a long way from metrisizing, then. The ones in my 1905 BB measure right around .078. You might be able to adapt another pair of clips by using the shank of a 5/64" drill as a pin. A 2mm pin might not get in there because it is 3/4 thou bigger. The clips fit rather tight.
OR
horrors of horrors. DRILL..............the stage.

I put a needle attachment from the 1902 continental on it so the stage isn’t bare. When I use the scope, I can borrow the clips from that one as well.
