Fugger & Buck!

In a moment of supreme Imperial Hamfistedness I managed to snap one of the connector pins.

I've tried emailing Troute but got no reply, does anybody know if he's doing repairs? (if so how do I get hold of him?)

PS Hope this doesn't upset the mods.

Is this a euphemism?

Swear avoidance gets reet up their pipes, apparently.

I presume you mean one of the pins in the socket in the light? They can be found on Farnell/RS. If brave enough, order a new one and have a go at replacing it yourself. Otherwise, maybe someone on here might be able to help. What part of the country do you live in? Can't quite locate them at the moment, but mtbbatteries.co.uk supply cables with the correct plug on the end. If you email him for details it would allow you to identify the correct socket.

Hope that helps.

Afaik,he's out of the lights business... Too many cheap imports killed it which is really sad... He may have spares if he sees your post though.

I seem to remember on another thread where he said he was stopping trading that he would continue doing repairs on the side in an informal way.

Loving all the Blake's 7 replies.

The Fish himself emailed me (cheers, cheap chinese I'm using light has severe range anxiety issues + unplanned thermal event nightmares and my Hope HiD is well into weird lighting up issues).

Standard by 12!
