Am able to obtain some 8mm and 10mm second hand Staylock fittings.

Am I able to re-use the internal cone or is it necessary to buy new
ones?

Any advice appreciated

regards
Peter


The cones can be re-used but the fly in the ointment is once they are
crushed onto the center part of the wire they have to be pried apart
along the slot with a screwdriver and this usually buggers them up. To
save work and get a better job of it, it's more than worth it to buy new
cones. They aren't all that expensive, after all.

Thanks Wilbur,
I'll see if I can get them locally

Cheers
Peter
