    Looking for a Brooks Brothers 1172-S

    Im looking for a right temple for a Brooks Brothers 1172-S to fix a patient's frame. I'm asking my comrades to check with Lux and see if it is even available. Actually I need the temple tip only. If anyone has seen one, it's got a long (about 120mm) cover with a notched open end. I hope that makes sense.
    Secondly, does anyone have an idea to replace that type temple tip?

    Thanks a bunch!! I will apply Greenies liberally for any help recieved!

    Truly exceptional service will receive a complimentary drink at Expo West!! (well liquors only please)!:cheers:

    you can remove the other one and put a pair of "standard" tips on both so they match. Or you can put shrink tubing on it.

    Thanks rep. The model number is rubbed off then. I don't have enough information to get parts.

    Thanks for all the responses.

    OptiSource sells something that I think was intended to cover a cable temple. It is a long (would probably fit entire length of a standard 130 temple) narrow tube available in different sizes and colors. Essentially looks like heat shrink tubing, but has a nicely finished end on one side (and is an open tube on the other). I'll see if I can find a link or part#. You might have to glue/shrink it in place, but I bet your pt would be happy!

    How many frames come in that color number? That might narrow it down a bit.
