<DIV>Hi Sandy</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These couplers are usually over-tightened and they are not flexible so the
strains on them over the years will cause fractures. If you can get any acrylic
pr Perspex rod of the correct outer diameter and know someone with a small model
makers lathe they are very easy to make. A small metal bush tightly fitted over
each end with a clearance hole for the grub screw would significantly improve
the strength.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You may be able to repair your broken one if you can get any acrylic glue.
That is easily available in the UK made by Revell but following
an enquiry of mine, the manufacturer's US distributor confirmed
that they do not import it into the States and our post office will not accept
it in the post. Anyone visiting the UK may be able to take a 25g tube back with
them in their hold luggage?</DIV>
