Thanks for your valuable info as always Tyler. I'll take a look when I get the chance. It is a two blade model and they're in good shape.
NormK, could you give your opinion on what I should do (or not) with this repair on the rear of the 1970s VC/Mustang/Sport catcher? Remove the rivets and staple or just leave alone? I'm favouring the latter.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
