punydan 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I've recently got a mk1 15' knocker and collar, at a bargain price. It all works fine but the collar is begining to perish, and probably wont last much longer. Could any one tell me if and how I can change it for a new one. Any help much appreciated. Dan.

Rub the leather with Vaseline mate should make it last a little longer.Someone on here did say how to change it but can't remember who or how. P1 Quote Link to post

Tel1 25 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 on the inside of the transmiter theres a thin resin strip, cut down both sides of this to the leather then ease the collar out, slide the new collar in and fill the gap back up with glue Quote Link to post

punydan 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks for the responses guys. I think I see the resin strip, now to take the plunge and cut it. Quote Link to post
punydan 0 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Did it and had to perform reconstructive surgery, I think this has happened before by the looks of it. Still all good now. Thanks for the offer Hily but I see one a little cheaper on evilbay. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 another way, if the leather either side of transmitter is good, is to simply cut the transmitter off,leaving an inch of leather either side, and then stitch/rivet on top of a new collar Quote Link to post
