Guide type - 964rh - 19th-Sep-24

Hi

I've bought another old scalextric car (Scaletti Arrows C023) which is missing a guide but I can't find any info on google apart from a part number W1404.

Does anyone know where I can get one from?

Hello,
Roger Gillham categorises the C23 guide as "G17" and it was only fitted to C23, C20 and C21 cars.
Described as "Blade, base rounded at rear, rear screw fixing"

I don't see any other guides having the rear screw fixing so nothing immediately compatible.
Photograph from page 185of the 6th Edition of The Definitive Guide is not the best but here it is.

Edit:-  There is a Dart C20 on EBay with a photo of the guide from underneath - https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/M8sAAOSwvu1ke39D/s-l1600.webp

Don't loose it !!

I saw the C23 front axle on Greenhills but you must have bought the guide before I looked. Hope you will do a review of the Scalleti, some of those ancient cars are tempting - I quite fancy an Electra but have never dived in.
