I'm replacing a few missing guides on a Montague Flash - can anyone suggest the type thread and shades of red & yellow I should use? The colors seem to
be the exact shades as on my Red Wing. Thank you.

You want #10 red and #2 white.. the white has turned yellow over the years..( do some test wraps to get the correct finish, or use a thread that looks similar
to the yellowed wraps )
Gudebrod #326 (red) YLI # 4 or #201 (red) Have fun. |

Thank you for your response. I just this morning completed an "on line" order for some Pearsall's silk - Claret, Cardinal & Primrose Yellow.
Hope they match after a bit of varnish - if not, I'll try the colors you suggested.
Thanks again, Lou
