I have been very lucky and have acquired a brand new Optimus 155 stove. However, as I intend to use this on my new yacht, I need gimbals, pot clamps and a balance weight. If anyone has these items for sale, I would be interested in purchasing them, alternatively if someone can take photos of the items, with a ruler or similar next to them, I will make the parts. Just for info, I have been using a Taylors 030 stove daily aboard my current yacht for the last 25 years. I replaced the cast iron top with a laser cut stainless steel one, and have been using Hanse No 1 burners these last few years. Very happy with it.
Hello Bill. The internet has plenty of pictures showing you such a set. The items are all very simple and staightforward, and could be sooner made yourself, than bought. Are you replacing the Taylors - with an oven - for the Optimus? Regards, Mike
I have seen a few photos but getting an accurate idea of the sizes is a bit difficult. The Taylors is on my current yacht an Ebbtide 36. The Optimus is for a much smaller Frances 26 that I am buying.

Thanks for all the replies. I have sent an email off to Fogg’s in Sweden to ask if they have stock of the parts. The description of the balance bar is great, I will make one from 25mm stainless steel square section and fill it with lead to get the weight to 6kg. Another aside, I dug out an old Optimus 199 camp stove, that I bought for $ 5 some years ago. Anyway I cleaned it up, and fettled a bit to get the tank seal working. It now burns a treat, and I will mount it in a hanging gimbal, as a emergency back up stove on my boat.
