What’s the best place to get replacement cloth for Thornton-Pickard shutter (65mm wide)?

@Ian Grant ?

Thanks

I made ones from a sheet sold by NobbySparrow, username in ebay.

I was going to mention him, also. I purchased from him. You will only hear good comments about him.

I’ve bought from him too. His fabric is thinner than the fabric I was replacing, but equally strong and light-tight. (I think it might be rubberized silk?)

Now I think about it, I’ve also bought it from Micro-Tools in California, during covid when Nobby Sparrow wasn’t shipping. It seemed to be the same material. (Don’t let google redirect you to Micro-Mark; scroll down to Micro-Tools.com)

I contacted the eBay guy - he is selling only big peices.

I suppose more or less all fabric comes from the same place in Japan? Like this from BH:

BH also sells the ribbon: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...bby_tool_jht9532_30_shutter_ribbons_11_x.html

Micro-tools has the ribbon on clearance, but fabric is more expensive than BH.

The lowest shipped to Canada seems to be BH.
