I have just discovered this site and I hope that someone can help. Does anyone have the drawings and literature for the 45 inch Leclerc Nilart? I am having trouble that seems to stem from the lam box and the harness glides. It was working perfectly but I noticed that the lam for shaft 1 was not riding in its slot on the left hand side so I stupidly and with great difficulty took things apart and 'fixed' it so that now it doesn't work at all. The lams are now not sitting in the harness glides on the left hand side only, with the result that the harnesses do not rise on the left hand side. Mr Brassard, the new owner of Leclerc since 1995 has no info on my loom which was made in 1981. I'm going to try to put it back the way it was but I'm not sure I know how that was. I would really appreciate some literature on this loom.
