🚀 Dinky Eagle Transporter 359/360 – Repro Spine/Cage/Frame + Assembly Tool 🛠️

This listing is for a brand‑new reproduction spine/cage/frame for the classic Dinky Eagle Transporter 359/360, complete with the Dave‑Designs leg assembly holder tool to make reassembly smooth and frustration‑free. I have had requests to design a decent replacement for a couple of years and finally managed it.

The original Dinky spine is notorious for cracking, warping or snapping over time. This precision‑engineered replacement has been designed from scratch to match the original geometry while offering a clean, reliable repro finish.

🧪 Designed, Tested & Refined

This part took many hours of CAD work and over 20 prototype iterations to perfect. The final version delivers:

Decent strength without excess bulk
Reliable print consistency batch after batch
Crisp detailing that respects the original Dinky design
Clean surface finish suitable for display or restoration

🔩 Easy Installation — No Full Disassembly Required

The new spine is designed to click into place without needing to dismantle the Eagle again. Simply carefully slip it over the front and rear landing‑gear modules with minimal flexing. Once aligned, it snaps securely into position.

This makes it ideal for restorers who want a strong, accurate replacement without the hassle of a full teardown.

🛠️ Included: Leg Assembly Holder Tool

You also receive the Dave‑Designs leg assembly holder tool, which:

Holds the legs firmly during reassembly
Keeps pressure against the interior spring plate
Makes alignment much easier
Prevents slipping while engaging the spring

This tool is especially helpful when replacing a damaged spine, as it stabilises the leg modules after you remove the old frame. The new frame does not require disassembly.

For those just wishing to do restorations, this tool is also available separately on another listing.
