tonyshooter Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 The good people at ASI importers should sell you what you will need to undertake the task. https://www.a-s-i.co.uk/ Well worth a phone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yeoman strikers or firing pins cost a few quid each from ASI . They need no fitting /adjusting unlike the No2's ,however getting the discs out can be a problem if you dont have the correct keys and a bit of practice if they are reluctant to move .

Hicky Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Cheers guys, I can machine up a tool to get the disc out if need be. I thought the striker/pin may need fitting. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicky Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 For info, I've just got off the phone to the tech dept(which usually bears no fruit) and had a great conversation and an offer of further help/advice should it be required for fitting. £24 later and I(son) should be back in business if the disc plays ball!

I had that problem in the past with a XXV. I can knock a tool up in work easy enough. Hopefully it should prove straight forward….tempting fate 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can knock a tool up in work easy enough. Hopefully it should prove straight forward….tempting fate 🤣 Tip , something I frequently did was to get a drill of the same diameter as the holes in the disc and make sure the holes are clean and may be deepened to at least 2 mm deeper if possible the deeper the better. If making a toll then a long shaft with a handle that allows you put forward force as you turn . All my keys were 12" long with flats on the side to put a spanner on 4 " from the front .I also had keys that I used in a brace . Most will come out with a little persuasion but some wont without brute force and the odd one had to be drilled out due to someone causing damage in trying to remove it . Good luck.
