Gammon Grenade help

Hi can any one help? I am after a inert booster pellet for a gammon if they are possible to get? Also what is the size of the detonator?
If I am correct its the No 78


Thanks

The gammon grenade is a number 82 I think. Not sure about the booster pellet, I have never noticed one for sale but then I haven't really looked. Does it have to be an original or could you make one up?

Hi thanks for the reply, I think the detonator is the no78 but I may be wrong! I would prefer an original if poss from what I gather there threaded and screw onto the under side if the fuse well.


Thanks
 
Sorry, I miss read your post. I think your right, no 78 MK1 detonator. Not sure, but what I can make out on the pics I've seen, there are no threads, so push fit det, but like I say, I'm not sure
