bigmick11 0 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi guys and gals, my wife managed to get me a couple of nice old Milbro catapults today at a car boot sale. They have their wooden collets in place which is a bonus. My problem is how do I thread the elastic through the holes with the collets? There must be a trick to it but I have never done it before so don't want to cock it up and break anything. Any advice much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any advice much appreciated. i took the wodden bits out mate then tied a bit of string about an inch down the elastic each side and pulled it through both eyes and just put a couple of pins through to hold it in.couldnt manage to do it with the wooden bits.

Try seaching for milbro - should bring something up. Nothing much under that search, but I think I'll just do away with the collets as suggested. Many thanks, Mike.
