Need to locate some stock in UK? please help?

[Rainmagnet 0]

Im hoping someone from one of the UK gear stockists can respond to this?

I have a friend who had a cutaway last year and lost the main in trees. His replacement main just arrived, but to to a communications error(!) its short of some parts!

He needs to find the bits he needs for delivery by middle of next week as we have a jumping trip to France planned for the following weekend.

Do you know of anyone in the UK who can supply them ex-stock?

He has a Vortex container and Pilot 190.
He needs suitable;
Riser set
Deploy bag
Pilot chute
(anything else)

Please PM me if you can help as time is short - mikenospam@promartech.com

Thanks if you can help.

can't help you with the parts, but the reason these parts didn't come with the main is because they belong to the container, not to the canopy...

Try DZ sports at Hinton. They're a Vortex stockists but I have no idea how much they keep in stock in the way of parts.

Worth a call in any case: 01295 812101

Thanks piisfish, but we kinda figured that out already...
:)

But when you ask someone to supply you with a new main "because youve had a cutaway and lost it all", it would be nice if they had mentioned that you needed to order risers etc at the time of ordering the replacement main...

Live and learn.

Thanks. We'll try calling DZ sports now.

You listed all the components for the main.

Did he/she loose the cutaway or reserve handle?

Was the freebag for the reserve recovered?

p.s. When you buy a main parachute, it comes with links, line and an attachment point. Nothing more. Everything else is considered part of the container.

But I guess you knew that by now.

He just lost the entire main. It dropped into trees, and despite several searches, we never found it. We think someone stole it (some of the locals are a bit anti-skydiving due to the turbine noise).

I dont go along with his theory that a badger used it to wallpaper his sett. Not those colours anyway. ;)

He had the presence of mind to keep hold of his reserve handle.

He got a message last night that Rob Colpus has managed to ship him the bits he needs annd theyt shouold arrive today(!). We're just waiting for confirmation.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions.
