WTB: Original A-2901 top bow swivels

[Michael O.]

Still looking for some unmodified swivels with 5/16 thumb screw threads.

Still looking for an unmodified swivel or two.

Still looking

Does anyone have a single or pair of A-2901 top bow swivels threaded for the early 5/16 thumb screws?

mark did but he not on here anymore. he was tractor12, i think he wanted 500+ for 2

[Michael O.]

Too bad he is unreachable through this site, unless you have an email for him? I really want to find some unmodified A-2901 swivels!

[parker007]

Jay did not have? i will maybe see mark this week at plymouth if i do i will ask him if he know where any are.

[Michael O.]

I will have a friend looking at the Plymouth show also for some things I need. Unfortunately work will prevent me from attending the show again this year.

Yes, I bought two swivels from Jay a while ago but they were modified to 3/8”. He did alert me to this apparently…my mistake.

[Michael O.]

Still looking.

there was a set but one gpw and 1 mb at plymouth, if you interested pm me i have guys email.

[Michael O.]

Sending PM

Unfortunately, the swivel in question is a later example.

[Michael O.]

Still looking. I may further modify my three A-2901 swivels and install heli coils in each of them to accept 5/16 thumb screws again but would really prefer unmodified examples.

[Michael O.]

Still looking…..

Michael,

Get a machine shop to resize them back to 5/16 NF", that's what restoration is all about.

With Love,
Peter
