Hi John,

I knew the blades were scarce but didn't think they were non existent.
Making a link and using 12" blades is the way I would go.

JD:
Baron, have found a supply of blades, yesterday ordered one of each 12" and 14" to get the size correct.
Also today phoned a long forgotten tool supplier in Gosport :Doh: he has the sizes I want. Apparently a 13" blade was never made so fingers crossed.

JD,
Found these on Ebay. Searched for 330 mm instead of 13 inch

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-POWER-HACKSAW-BLADES-13-x-1-x-6tpi-British-330mm-/150191450156

Any good?

Cheers

Sean

BaronJ:
Hi John, Sean,

Since 330 mm is for all intents and purposes 13" they should be ok ! 
However 6 tpi is a little bit coarse for steel, fine for cast iron though.  With a blade that coarse I would worry about it jamming in the cut.

The seller quotes "322" mm between holes, double check that your machine can accommodate them.

JD:
Gents thanks for your input, problem solved took the blade frame apart yesterday what I thought was a roll pin on the rear blade adjuster turned out to be a grub screw  :doh:  so after cleaning and fettling I now have full adjustment for the blade  :thumbup:  length of blade turns out to be 12".
