Deben Locator Collar Id & Spares Please?

[rigboot 0]

Me again...

 

Following on from my Mk1 box questions, looking for a little more advice please

 

With the recently picked up Mk1 8' locators for repair, there were two collars (red mouldings, smaller batteries and caps) which are a lot smaller than my standard black moulded collars.

 

Pics to help see what I'm drivelling on about:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are these "micro" collars?

 

Can anyone help me source a spare end cap for one of these too please?

 

When replacing the leather portion of the collar, can i simply remove the wee moulded tabs gripping the leather to the moulding easily and resecure/slip on a new collar?

 

Lots of questions but thanks in advance folks

It looks like a micro collar the batteries are 393`s or called ag5 get them off eBay the caps for the micros are different size a website called sporting dog sells them they are £5.50 each.the one with the cap on looks like it's a 15ft cap.if it is a 15ft collar which I didn't know they made micro 15 footers it will need two batteries,sorry I can't help more,

Forgot to say I'm sure you have to resin the locator onto the new collar once it's removed from the old one I ain't got a clue how you'd get it off tho,atb rich

Hi Rich

 

Thank you very much for the reply, starting to make sense now.

I have some 393's coming so will give them a whirl.

Off to have a look at the website for collars now.

Much appreciated

Thanks

The 2 collars you have highlighted are micro collars as already said

to remove the collars turn them over and you'll be able to see a seam, using a junior hacksaw blade carefully cut along the seam, and gently work the leather out carefully(theres usually a resin stud that goes through the collar) replacing the collar is a reversal of the above method and refill the gap using araldite, sand excess of when dry and the jobs a good one

Cheers for the tip Leeview, going to order two new collars and get them replaced, got some 2Tonne epoxy which should do the job nicely.

If only I could find another cap!!

Thanks again
