  Hello mate
  Sorry for delay, I have a small stack of 'rings, almost all are 130BCD from days when I could actually ride up hills on a 39T... They are all plain, silver, 8, 9 or 10 speed, no fancy ramps. Choice of:
  TA 39T VGC
  Shimano A 42T VGC (goes with a Shimano A 53T outer, I think Dura Ace
  Shimano B 39T Good
  Shimano 39T, older style, VGC (goes with a Shimano 52T outer)

  I'm sure I have some, will have a look tomorrow. I'm just west of Halifax if you ride out this far?

• Help - Victor J-28 torch bits

  Looks like an ebay seller in the US has some fixed nozzles for a J-28; I am thinking I will cut the nozzle off and tap the end to accept the replaceable tips, kinda like you suggest, @M_V

  If I had realised how hard it would be to find all the required kit to get this torch running... Although these torches are really well thought of in framebuilding circles (so I am led to believe), the threads, connectors and nozzles are all US sizes and not available outside the US.

  Thanks, @M_V - if I could guarantee that the neck to torch body was correct, you're right, I could just tap a new thread onto the nozzle end and hey presto! So, I would need a neck with a female 9/16" 22tpi fitment. I'll have a look at that one you link to but I can't see a spec for the threads... And what I (seem to have?) learned over the last 4 weeks of searching is that there is no single standard for torch threads. They are even worse than bottom brackets!! ;-)

  I don't suppose anyone has one of these handy and has already worked out the thread size?

  Hello
  Can anyone help - I am after a Victor UN-J elbow to fit a J-28 brazing torch. The part number is Victor - 0325-0101.
  I appreciate this is a very specific thing, but I am having real problems getting one in the UK. Neither Victor or ESAB (Victor dealers/owners in Europe) will supply one, and although there are a few US companies that have them, there seems to be a minimum spend tied into Brexit/VAT and I may be looking at £150 for a bit of bent copper tube!
  Ever hopeful...
  Cheers
  Greg
