    I have been looking for some "modern" mantles to fit our vintage caravan gas lights and wondered if anyone here might help. I have tried the Coleman no21 mantles and they tie around the old mantle ring fine, but they are too large. So am looking for similar closed end mantles, but smaller. Any ideas.

    Can you find a Coleman #20? They are smaller and might be the solution.

    Yes but if they are still being made you must be able to buy singles somewhere. If you do an eBay search for Caravan mantles you will find a selection for around £4 a pop. ::Neil::

    Or try eBay - I'm not saying these will fit but 10 for £35 seems reasonable enough and will give you a stock for the future...
