Can anyone suggest where I might buy 10 mm collets (sometimes known as D collets) to suit my old Pultra clock makers lathe? The only possibility I could find on Google was lathes.co.uk so I have placed an enquiry there, but all other leads have drawn a blank.

Won't help immediately, but keep an eye on Ebay. Even BCA collets turn up occasionally.

Don Valentine pointed out that G&M have genuine 10 mm Pultra collets at £15 each. I ordered three, and they arrived today as good as the day they were made 30 or 40 years ago. Thanks Don.
