I have recently acquired a Colchester Bantam Mk 1. It’s great, apart from one thing: if I rotate the topslide by more than about 30′ degrees anti-clockwise, the two clamp bolts lose their position in the circular slot, and it becomes impossible to rotate the topslide further.

The fix is to remove the topslide altogether and manually reposition the two bolts into the slot, then replace the topslide.

This is a pain. Do other Bantam owners have this problem – or even better, have a fix?

Thanks

Martin
