ICOM Help !!

Brian · 27 May 2006, 12:14

Wanted. Urgent help from Mr. Jon Brooks (or any ICOM dealer in Dublin (Howth Marina?)).

My friend Ollie is currently going round Britain (anti-clockwise) and will be in Howth marina by Monday evening, where I will be joining him.
He has an ICOM 501 and has broken the bit that connect the fistmike into the radio itself. It is a hexagonal plastic nut.
He needs a "bit", we think, so that we can fit it ourselves.
Can anyone supply this "bit"?
Contact Ollie Folkshard (07785 278159) or Brian Elliott (07792 163133) at Howth marina if you can. He has a 8m Scorpion blue RIB called Tickled Pink.

I live in Howth if I can be of any help. PM me.

Edit... I have sent a text to the mobile of these guys. When they get out of whatever pub they are in I will try and help them.

Spoke to Ollie. Unit is perational.

He will call to Cushendall to Redbayboats9 (Icom dealer) on Monday.

If still problems he will be in dublin Monday evening and can visit Icom distributor Western Marine(very close to Dun Laoghaire).

Any other suggestions welcome.
