It's getting to the point that I have to bite the bullet and manufacture some new threading plates for the 9A and 9AM gearboxes. While I can't do an exact copy, due to trademark restrictions, I can produce one that is made in the same way, with the same dimensions and colour with the same information on it. The only thing different would be the mention of F.W.Hercus on the top of the plate. The attached pictures show in general what the differences would be. I have used the metric one as an example.
I realise we would all prefer that is identical in all respects but unless I can convince Hercus to have them made, this or something like it what will have to do. Your opinions and or interest in these would be appreciated. The same can be done for the other Hercus models, if required, as I only have genuine ones for the imperial 260's, which there wouldn't be many of.
