Mark II – Parts
The following is a list of the parts used in the Mark II vacuum cleaner, unfortunately it shows that it was impossible to buy everything from one place in one go because we didn’t have a strong plan, however it almost all was aquired from the Farnborough industrial estate where there is a Maplin, B&Q, Wickes, and ScrewFix.
