Thanks DAV. Take a look at my other videos and please consider subscribing. And you might find the Facebook forum 'Meccano Nuts' of use as well.

First one I've seen where you just hold the rollers in the place where the amount of bend is what you want. All the others including mine have a screw thread adjusting mechanism. Good idea! But mine doesn't have any loose angle brackets😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If I made it again now it would probably be different!

Hello ! Good idea! Have you the installation instructions ?

[@BaldyMakesStuff]

There aren't any instructions, it's a case of looking at it and copying it. Good luck!

Can you help wear ca I get the rollers

Hi Pete. They were sold by John Thorpe of www.meccanohobby.co.uk, but there is a note on his website saying he cannot produce them at the moment due to cataracts in his eyes. You could try emailing him and seeing if he has any suggestions.
I don't think they would be complicated for any machinist to reproduce if you showed them my video.
