I managed to get a message to him being in possession of the only wind rower I knew of but unfortunately he had sold that mower. I was able to track the mower but it was on sold again, eventually made contact with the current owner of the mower, who initially, for reasons obvious, was reluctant to part company with the part. After a number of conversations over time, a piece of rather expensive broken plastic arrived. The quest to make an exact replica has begun and here is the first prototype which I'm pretty happy with. after a bit more work, painting etc I think it will look great. The pictures are deceiving as they make the replica look smaller but it was cast from the original.
