Hi Paul no problem mate the fuze was a relic that sometimeago i decided to section , but then forgot about it until today when i thought instead of sectioning i would strip it down , and thats the result Not shown is the cap that pops onto the front

Thats a nice looking fuse for a relic steve.

Even better that its now in strip down form.

Hi Phil
If you look closely it was very pitted, so i spray painted over the corrosion . i was amazed it stripped down so well there is a cap over the mechansm that can pull off , will probably take some close ups of thae mechanism.
