The title says it all...
The white, plastic fourk is...
broken
two parts
kapputt
after having tried to reglue it (nope, didnt work) I was thinking of the following solutions:
1- buying a new part for a lot of money (and probably be back to the same issue after a while... )
2- maybe there is a better replacement (Is the spool from the CLE compatible ? Is it better?)
3- find some kind of hard plastic cut tube, fit it under pressure to the shaft and shove the film leader under it
4- find someone to produce a metal replacement for the broken fourk (Maybe Tom A??)
Any opinion?
Thanks

The original Leica part, new or used, is a fine part quality wise. Plastic ages poorly and eventually it breaks. I can repair your CL in a week (USA) Quotes by email only.
