Default Aveling & Porter roller scrapers

Wanted roller scrapers to complete the restoration of my little 'B' type. I have one off the front steering bracket but none of the others. Any bits in any condition considered.

Thanks

Roger

Not sure but I assumed Avelings would have used the same cast bits and springs and if required altered the steel parts. Therefore anything/size would be a help.

Thanks.

I have a complete one for the steering brkt, I don't think it matters if it's left or right.
I will dig it out on Thursday and post a picture.

Hi Tom,

See why you asked. Yes the 'B' type is a 6 tonner but I assumed that we were only comparing scraper sizes between a 'B' and a R10.

The business end of the scraper is the same for all models save the actual plate that does the scraping.

Its the length of the pole and mounting that varies. Nothing that cant be adjusted with the magic blue light.

My Fowler had an Aveling scraper on it for a spell.
