Has anyone got a saddle or a pair of saddles for a 3 inch rocket (RP) RAF circa 1945? would settle for a deecent line drawing if nothing else. Also looking for the pigtail to go with it. Any helpers, please, pretty please.......

Hi; nothing to do with the thread, but, apparently, you need to empty your P.M inbox folder as I cannot get a message to you, 'cos it's full! RE; I.B Nose! Dave.
The saddle was a clip that attached the rocket to the rail and the pigtail was a curly wire that plugged into the end of the rocket motor and the aircraft,for igniting the rocket.
Prior to the aircraft taking off the pigtail was only connected at one end so would hang curlyish ,like a pigtail.
Just to make life interesting the AIM-9 Sidewinder has a similar connector to the pigtail but mounted on the side of the motor, that one is called the Umbilical!
