Hi Gang, I was told to get the T3 got it 2nd hand for £65 but looks top draw my club sec said it was a quality clock hardly used . The club only uses clocks and not ETS for now (I'll need to get use to using this haha).I have never used a clock before so it will be fun first time round.

Hope your right mate haha, Im going to see the club sec tonight for a chat and he has already taken my T3 to be checked over, I do remember him saying something about INSERTS and that I needed them are they what you put the rubber bands in from the racing bird before putting them into the clock? if the are where would I get them from?
Cheers,
Tony

hi tony, yes you can buy inserts which clip into the chambers......they are easy to fit yourself and allow you to put the rubber directly into the clock without the need for a thimble. its not compulsary as far as I know to have these fitted, you can simply use a thimble if you wish, its just the inserts make it quicker and easier when clocking in as you don't have to fiddle about putting the rubber in a thimble, then putting the thimble into the clock........

David do you know where I can buy the inserts for the clock or would it be best to speak to the club sec later on today about it.

i use t3 thimbleless it was converted when i bought it

yes tony, as Darren says, you can have them converted so you don't need a thimble...I think they change the full drum ??? alternatively im not 100% sure but I think some of the T3S models are thimbleless ???

I think you can buy the inserts from boddy and ridewood maybe ???
