Hey does anyone have, and like to part with, 2 red V (for Viscount) buttons?
These are the ones from the early Viscounts used on brake pivot, Stem pinch & seat pin bolts and are just under 10mm dia. Same as the profile icon that busate uses.
I don't know if bigger ones exist, such as the L buttons from the Lambert QR squewers which are 14mm dia.
Alternative would be to get some made, does anyone have an idea for that?
Thanks

Thanks Take a look at this thread: viscountandlambert.boards.net/thread/1096/logo-parts-restorationJim sent me some of the ‘V’ logo discs he made, and I still have some. If you can send me the diameters you need, I will measure up the ones I have and send them across.

This place is amazing, so many great efforts and creativity to solve problems and keep the viscount story alive. Actually I thought I'd see somewhere here that somebody had made these discs, but when I searched again twas to no avail. Thank you! I checked through Jims threads, noted that he hasn't called in for a year, yet saw great ideas and approach, & dedication to restoring his bike. I don't know what you are willing to part with, but since there are perhaps more discs available, I'll give you the big wish list: 2 - 5 x small (3/8) 2 x medium (7/16) 2 x large (9/16) I'm looking at making some custom parts with some discs, such as some alum barend plugs and a compact style seat pinch bolt. In the thread there is mention of 2 types, being lasered red Anodising or powder coated alum. Which one do you have? Thanks again

Schrauber, Sorry for the delay in replying to you, but I’ve ridden both the English ‘ Coast to Coast’ cycle route and the Brompton World Championship ‘race’ in the last 5 days, making the most of the beautiful summer weather. My highlight of the C2C trip was eating an ice cream with my two riding buddies at the top of Hartside, having taken an hour to grind my way up 1250 feet over 4 miles, looking back over the magnificent landscape we’d just travelled across and up, feeling good about life, when the RAF’s Red Arrows flew past us at low level in two echelons of five jets each. A memorable moment. I have 4 small, 2 medium and 4 large ‘V’ logos (dimensions as your measurements), so I can meet most of your wish list apart from 1 small, but I’ll keep the 2 large ones you don’t require in case anyone else needs them If you’d like to send me your mailing address in a private message via the forum, I will post them to you. RobT
