John and Ian,
Epibond 420 A/B is the tooling epoxy which is exactly the same as
Araldite 420 A/B aka Redux made here in the States and I believe in
Europe. It is sold in 50ml packets, and larger containers. Check with
your Huntsman Dealers in the UK, and hopefully they don't have a $5000
minimum like the jerks in the States require. Otherwise it is a quart
or 1 kilo container available through your epoxy dealers or Europa.
Fiona should have some new stuff in stock. I would even suspect you
could get a small thimble of redux from the repair shop at the factory
if you could get down there.
Not to pry, but if you bent the bolt, and you have removed the spring,
you have an opportunity to put in a 3/8 inch chrome moly tube in the old
hole as a sleeve. Redux the heck out of it and I have found that the
sleeve allows you to bolt the spring down without crushing the epoxy
wood material, it holds the the spring end quite well, and of course
don't forget the epoxy flange around the tail post, which is critical.
Hope they have good composite dealers overseas with what you need.
Many owners also have small amounts still left over and may help also.

Europa normally has 420 and, of course any parts you need for the
repair.
As far as I know 420 is not available in small quantities.
If the amount you need is really small another owner may be able to
help.
Best if it is someone local to you.
