Even Astec are out of stock, but you could ring them to see if they know when some might be coming in.

I rang them and a while ago also Prestwich model boats both said a couple of weeks.  I check their websites every day.
Thanks for your help.

They are easy to make  from brass or Ali & you can make them exactly the way you want them. Mick B.

I am after water cooled mounts .   Ordered some from Cornwall Models hopefully these are the right size after 3 previous orders from different suppliers. Will update you all.

Hi Joe,

I think what Mick B means, is that a watercooled mount can me made too, either from brass or aluminium, I've done both.

In brass:










And in aluminium:





And added later to an existing mount:

Aluminium will be a better heat conductor than brass. This surprised me. Some years ago I made a watercooling system for my computer, and I used copper plate for the heatsinks, which is the best metallic heat conductor unless you start messing with precious metals, but was surprised to discover in my research that brass is rather a poor heat conductor.

I'm sure either will be an improvement on air cooling though.
