CammoWarrior 0 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've came into the posession of a milbro basic catapult (with thumb print) Anyone know where i'll get the right elastic ? Seen 6mm elastic on Bells on Hythe which is 6mm The holes on mine are 6mm but i need to double it up for the locating pins and it's a nightmare to get through Been informed that the basic models used to use 3/16" can anyone shed any light on this Would be much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The elastic was square formation if i remember and black. That's the very one B I ripped my nail off & my thumb turned black,did'nt cry tho as i was with the lads down Sunderland docks whacking ferals in the old mill.Using lumps of cast iron as ammo for that "ripping affect"...certainly worked on my thumb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldTrapCollector 376 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Elastic size for it is 3/16" but 1/4" if you are feeling strong. You should find it on eBay if you look OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CammoWarrior 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Cheers ! Only problem is the holes are 6mm and i have the locking pins for doubling up the Elastic, As i can only get 6 mm ( 12mm Once doubled up ) I can't see 12mm of Elastic goin through 6mm holes without some real persuasion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
