Title: Neiman locks
Post by: Boxer_Bolshie on April 07, 2012, 03:02:21 PM

After removing the Neiman lock from my forks, at the beginning of my R65 restoration, I cleaned and buffed it up to remove all the grime and tarnish.  While buffing the lock cylinder I watched as the tiny screw, that resides in the "slide channel" on the side, fly out and across the shed where it disappeared (probably) forever.  Ever since I have been searching high and low for another screw to replace the one I lost.

Does anyone know where individual Neiman lock parts might be had?

You may want to try a clock repair shop that works on mechanical clock movements .

You might also try Model Engineering suppliers as they often stock very small screws.

Assuming the screw was metric then the sizes available are M1.0 M1.2 M1.4 M1.6 M1.7 M2.0
