Hi,

I am in need of a extra flange for Ilex #5. Where do people get one? I know Grime makes new ones but how about used ones? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Warmly,
Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi,

You also might look for a local machinist and have him make one for you. I'm in the process of doing that now. I found a local guy with a lathe and milling machine in his garage who does small jobs like this. He's making 3 or 4 large flanges for some of my oddball brass lenses and 5 aluminum lensboards for my MV all for ~ $300. Grimes charges ~$150 each for custom made flanges, I believe.
