I don't think so. How about bent slightly? Does that make you
happy?

My point, which was really directed at Dave (the OP) is the in British
slang, bent means stolen, so slightly bent would mean slightly stolen. :-)

I assume he meant they had leads which were no longer straight, but it
was a cute image (to me) anyway.

Back when I lived in the states, we would call it "off the back of a truck".

Geoff.

I've never been able to find a UK source for a range of wide rubber drive
bands for slow/bulbous pinnion motors, bought as a mixed lot. This week I've
found how to cut my own and now have a large range (30mm up to 190 mm
diameter x 4 to 6 mm wide and 0.75mm to 2mm thick) for most/all? future
eventualities, without the usual farting about with suppliers.
Technique not limited to that range, just limitations of my current jig.

Hello,

Digikey (www.digikey.com) in the USA offers resistors assortments in
various configurations and by wattage. Most seem to include 5 of each
value. I'd guess that Mouser (www.mouser.com) also offers something
similar.

I believe both will ship overseas.

Both now have a UK presence - at least in web form - so may help with the
Euro thingie.

But Digikey are amazingly fast to the UK. Ordered some hall effect sensors
that only they seemed to stock and they arrived here within 36 hours of
placing the order via their site. And at a reasonable P&P cost compared to
many US firms that will send to the UK.
