There used to be mountains of D10 available, but it seems to have been collected up by now - I don't think the scrap value is very high because it's 4 tinned copper and 3 tinned hard steel cores, so difficult to recycle. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276262038438 for dispenser packs.

Surveyor Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Many thanks, as its for part of the FFR Land Rover your suggestion makes sense. It the usual, not looking for it loads of kit when you want it rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk3iain Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 It's a bit odd looking around at Clansman equipment for sale. Some items still turn up from the likes of Withams years after the "last ever" sales. For D10 cable it used to be everywhere and if you bought a vehicle from Withams for example the loose kit would likely have some reels of it. I have seen today an advert for radio remote kit including D10 wire at 50p per meter ! Nuts considering the reels are around 800m or more. Where has it all gone...🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have a new old stock Crimper for joining D10 cable, never been used. Any interest? Photos below; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Thanks i was thinking of solder and shrink wrap to connect, as I have them already, this drum when loaded is more for show than use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Suslowicz Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The jointing sleeves and a Hellerman tool are so much easier than doing bound-in or soldered joints - assuming you can get the crimp sleeves, of course. :-)> Best regards, Chris.

Photos below; Looks a bit used to this gnome. (Or badly stored.) I have a couple of them, the original red handled ones and the later "low observability" version like that one. Did they ever issue the carrier in DPM, I wonder? (I have the dark green cotton webbing version, and a lightweight synthetic one with the same NSN, but nothing more recent than that.)

The actual joints are waterproof and very strong if properly made. (Far better than the old "Self-Soldering Sleeve type which were time consuming, messy, required manually insulating after the cleanup, and couldn't be posted because... firework composition. Bound-In joints were even less fun and very hard on the fingers as I discovered in the Cadet Force, decades ago.) I've not seen the Hellerman jointing sleeves for sale anywhere, but then I haven't been looking - I think I have a couple of boxes of them tucked away somewhere, but no D10 to use them on!

They're bent and rusted to the point I'm not sure where to begin - some of the folding handles are immovable. (I only bought them for the contents, though some might be repairable.)
