FWB butt pad.

[Dave49]

Hi,
I have an FWB 150 which is in excellent condition EXCEPT the rubber butt pad is showing signs of it’s 50 plus years age in that it is quite hard and cracking.
Does anyone know where I might get a replacement for this pad. Unfortunately it is not a stocked FWB spare part anymore. Any leads or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I don't, but if you find some I could do with one for mine!

One from a 300 might fit

Do you just want one that fits and looks the part, or a new old stock/secondhand original item ?

Ideally an original item in good condition (well better than the current one anyway). A new non original one that fitted would be ok too.
Looked at the German web site that has an original for sale but my German is not quite up to confidently ordering it from there. Trying to find out if a 300 would fit the 150.

TBMK the two but pads are different in principle as one is an adjustable one, the other fixed. Interchangeability depends on the end of the stock being the same in three dimensions, and the pitch of the fixing screws being the same and also in the same relationship to the but outline. That's all negative I'm afraid, but I'd have thought that it would be straightforward to borrow one off a 300 and try it for fit, which if it did, might not lead on to an easier exercise than finding one off a 150, but at least you know that the 300 ones are available new for around the £50+mark as a last resort.
