robinb Posted January 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2008 Guys, I'm in need of one of these "clover leafs". They were used to hold 3 cardboard tubes together while shipping 75mm ammo. I'm putting together a howitzer display, and I need one more to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgawne Posted January 19, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2008 They turn up in Europe a lot- I have seen some trash pits dug out with scads of the suckers. The problem is convincing someone in Europe thatyou actually WANT one of them as they get looked upon as junk. (One man's junk....) Maybe one of the European members can help you out...

Bill in VA Posted January 20, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2008 Rob, have you considered trying to cast one? Brownell's carries low melting temp metal called Cerrosafe. It melts in boling water and is easy to use. A pound of a Cerrosafe and some clay for a mold might be an expedient way to fix up your display until you can find the real thing. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/pro...st=cerro&s= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
