I have a clutch and master with tin tops, one missing a lid but they have been painted with a silver spray. Not sure what they are like underneath. Do you want me to post some pics?

Sorry about that  - just reading messages now - will get onto it before the weekend. I don't think postage is too bad. |

You are joking aren't you Ed? hey rabbitoh, not really.. im guessing they are, i've never bothered to look closely. Just wondering how hard it would be to make some out of paint tins and some deft soldering. Cheers Ed |

Male threads both ends, it is possible to cut out the centre and replace with a soup tin or such. It can be soldered to the original base and top. I've done this once before but it is a lot of work. Best to find a tin which is the right diameter so you don't have to solder up the side of the tin.

For those enterprising reproducers out there (yes that means you Mr Rare Spares, et al.,) the queue for these tins and screw caps will start behind me! |

I knew somebody would have had a go I have a herbicide tin at home with a screw cap and approx the right size.. hence the question.

Oldgmh,
To save you the hassle is it dent free? If so please send a photo with what you would like for it. I just paid $60 for a decent one with cylinder on ebay.
Thanks Brent.
