OK anyone now if it is possible to get a new leather pump cup for one of these.

I had a quick look on spirit burner and notice a few familiar names, not posted there as I not registered.

Ed, give the lads a phone call at

www.base-camp.co.uk they will sort you out. There are only two sizes of pump leather really, and these cover pretty much all the classic primus type stoves. My Aunt worked for the company that made your stove, who knows, she may have soldered it herself :)

Does your stove have the fold up legs or is it the larger stove? If its the bigger one, I have a leather you can have

Ed, no problem, fit the leather dry to the pump rod, then soak it in oil, I use olive oil, for a few hours before fitting to the stove, works well. Any problems, give me a shout

Here is me, 51 years old, I join this site to learn new skills, and rekindle skills forgotten, plus ween myself off my stove habit, and stove threads keep popping up ;)
