The Stanley spares kit arrived and every threaded item was duplicated to provide metric and imperial sizes. The tote handle screw was only about 1/2″ long, not the 3/4″ length of the Record. Looking at both Stanley and Record tote handles the Record is thicker at this point, hence requiring a longer screw. However the screw did fit the thread. However as MTaylor points out it’s difficult to know whether damage to threads would occur if it was locked in place.

I’ve taken a chance on ordering the Stanley Spares kit as I saw on a forum that others had bought this and used the imperial sized parts for older planes. It will be here in a day or so, so I will post and let you know if the parts fit older planes.
Ironically I contacted a number of retailers of this spares kit and no one could give a definite answer!
Thanks again for your help,

thanks for the link. I may give them a try if my search is unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your time,

Thanks for your input. Yes it should just pull up. Same design as my Stanley’s. There is no washer underneath the top nut as there is on my Stanley No4 so that’s not the issue. I don’t think the bolt is bent as tension would increase incrementally. This just stops suddenly after about 0.5 cm as though it has come up against something. Handle is sound, the plane has had little use. -
