Dhu Varren Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 A bit of information that I have just discovered. For those of you who use stock fitted with Lima tension lock couplings, and require replacement hooks, which are like hen's teeth, and can be expensive, Hornby produce identical hooks under part number X9428 for a pack of ten. The price of these hooks works out at less than 1/3rd of the the price being asked for on eBay, and even retailers etc. for Lima hooks. I obtained some from peterspares, but beware, I have found another retailer selling a different type hook under the same part number. Look closely at a picture before buying.

WRENNEIRE Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Voting yes or no man? Just saw this thread Good spot as the Hornby ones usually have the recess pointing down rather than up Any idea how they fit lengthwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 You are assuming something you can only guess about Its the 28th ammendment, which is not political but constitutional, I think? Always make sure you have both sides of the story before you jump in! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3bfO1rE7Yg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having compared the Hornby produced hooks with original Lima ones, they are an exact match for the original Lima ones, a direct replacement.
