    Try Michael in MJ Kelly Ltd, Ballygar Co. Galway
    (090) 66 24545

    They are abbey dealers. You never know what they could have in their parts store..... worth a try.

    Hope you get sorted

    what do you mean the three rollers?

    do you mean three pulleys and hence three blades underneath?

    If so I think they might be the same as rossmore ones of a similar era, and seemingly bits cant be got for them either, but rossmore are able to alter their ones.

    Might be able to alter your abbey to suit?

    stick a pic of what you want up and should be able to direct you to supplier. not seeing it but maybe reliance bearings would be worth a call http://www.reliancebearing.ie/

    It's an Abbey topper and Abbey can't get you the part. Very strange.
    At the very least, they would have the dimensional sizes. Could they fax you through a drawing even? You could get someone to 'turn you up one' (machine one) in a machine-shop.

    Came across that before - Abbey unable to offer support on some parts.

    Best bet is to ask for a list of dealer's (past as well as current dealers) and ring around. You might be lucky and find a dealer who has the part in stock.
    Otherwise depending on the condition of the rest of the machine you will have to get a local engineering company to modify the pulley's to a common or standard type readily available off the shelf with any supplier.

    Kev, did you ever source a pulley for your Abbey?
