Yes but beggars can't be choosers. I'll hang on 'till something better comes along.

Look what I found today underneath the old Garrett canopy a gong / bell. I knew the brass plate which mounts on the back plate was there but couldn't remember the bell being there. I thought there was just some rusty guts. Does anyone know if this is a genuine Garrett style bell?

YES - Jammy or what ..............:)

That is the same as is fitted on the rear spectacle plate of a friends 4CD. There should be a brass nob on a rod coming through the middle of the brass ring that you push to operate the ding dong bell!

Yes, same as fitted to the 4CD Peter Timmis had.

Basically its a 'Bermuda Bell', you can still buy them new (if you sell a Kidney)

It provides much amusement when rung at rallies as the general public seem to more associate whistles with steam engines so i've had lots of laughs from people when i've rung it!
(especially useful when you break the whistle chain on a road run)

I've seen one of them, I think it was on the Garrett (lady Sarah)
