    FWB 65 service in London or Surrey?

    Someone asked if I know of anyone who can service a FWB 65 in the London or Surrey area.

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,

    These guys are the Feinwerkbau importers. I’ve had spares off them in the past and they do offer a servicing service.
    They’re also based in Woking

    Not too difficult to DIY if you can get parts if needed. Just need to be careful with spring split washers and pins!

    Whether they are difficult or not to work on......I'm not sure but I'd certainly put them in the fiddly catagory, especially the trigger mechanism. If they fancy having a go & think they have the skills then it's up to them but since they have asked for advice on who can service it for them I guess they don't fancy popping down to the shed to have a go. Its sometimes good to know where to draw the line. I think the shims are critical.....assuming its already assembled correctly then all the bits need to go back in exactly the same place as they came out of. The shims, as I understand it, make up to different thicknesses & need to be kept in order & not mixed up or else it will not function correctly. Hope the interruptor hasn't broken as I think they are rarer than scarce. Have bought from Centra but never asked them to service a FWB65.

    Hi Peter,
    It wasn’t for me and the owner is happy to try Centra as they live close by.

    Thanks for the suggestion though.

    I might want someone to have a look at a Diana 60 though, just to balance the pistons perfectly.
    Anyone at the fair who’s a dab hand with those?

    Cheers,
    Matt
