Does anyone know where I can get hold of some adaptors to fit solar heads to fox arms? Had a google but couldn't find anything other than an old Gumtree ad.

Thanks in advance

Like a threaded bar to make a female to male?
Or say a 2ba to 5mm thread ?

Would you be looking at male to male 2ba to M6? Fox are M6 aren't they?

Here's a thing I learned that some of you might find useful:

Korda, Cygnet (Muddy Waters), Solar and Matrix bobbins and hangers are all interchangeable (I think there was another one but I forgot it)
(obviously not if they are male to male or female to female though, which happens with Cygnet/Matrix hockey sticks!

I use Cygnet heads in Matrix chains and Matrix hockeys as I like the long slim bobbin head with a huge bright isotope inside
