The arms were given to me, and the lad had had them for years, so I don’t know I’m afraid. They have curved ends that the chord attaches to is that helps!

When I say bored out, that’s a fancy way of saying I drilled them myself with a hand drill and 12mm bit. A bench vice helped though

The mesh is a free spirit one

I might polish the block yet, and should probably repaint the collar black, but I am ok with it as it is.

The handle has now been scotched smooth and refinished. The block holes have been bored out to 12mm (previously worn out 10mm) to fit arms that have 10mm ferrule, as 2mm seems about the right amount of play.
New mesh has been ordered and it’ll be back in use next time out👍

Thanks all, Ultracult it is then!

I'll try the heat gun Jeff, thanks. It's not that I don't like the block, it's just the holes are slightly worn, and not a good fit for the arms.

Update...
It's been confirmed that the arms aren't original, so that explains the poor fit. So if I can find suitable replacements I'll keep the original block.

Just heat the block with a heat gun and twist it out then you can fit a different one if you dont like it.
