Tenor clapper repair
I spotted the tenor clapper pin working its way out last week (shown above) so it was clapper out of the bell for investigation.
The pin is held in place by a 5mm diameter roll pin. But in this case the roll pin had fractured allowing the gudgeon pin to work out. Luckily I spotted it in time or it could have caused a lot of damage.
After removing the broken roll pin bits a new pin was fitted and the clapper replaced in time for practice night.
I will check them more often now.
