Re: Vintage 12 inch Vader arms repair

Then thread one of the small bands through one end ( make sure you have the arms the right way first !) pull it through and link the other side does a decent job just need a saver for him now!!

If the white clips are broken then an alternative that works is 2 hair clips ( asked my Wife to borrow 2 ha ha)
