3-speed brass pulley and cable stop source

I have lost the information I once had for a source of metal Sturmey cable pulley and cable stop fulcrums.
someone in a 3 speed club was making them and now I cannot locate that source.

They do not have to brass, but that is what these were made from, as I remember.

thanks

I possibly have a link somewhere, but iirc it was one of the folks behind the Gentlemen Cyclist Google group. You might ask there.

The Lake Pepin 3 speed Tour is the site you want. Go there then to more and then to parts. Unfortunately the parts site is not in operation.

Take it apart, flatten the strip, pack it in an envelope between two bits of corrugated cardboard - a third in the middle with cutouts for the parts.

Envelopes are faster than parcels as well as cheaper.

The older ones were made from sintered metal, IIRC. Newer ones, still in production, use a plastic pulley. I may have a couple of the older ones here, with clamp for 1" tube. I'll look if you still need one.
