These steel bars are installed at the top and bottom of each shaft frame to hold the heddles. There is a hole at each end which enables them to be locked in place in some of the floor looms using the Shaft Frame Spring Clips. The hole is also used to allow the weaver to easily add or remove heddles by tieing a string to the end of each Bar to keep the heddles properly ordered. These bars have smooth surfaces to allow the heddles to easily slide horizontally to make it easier to thread the loom. Two Heddle Support Bars are required for each shaft frame.
(Note: Please advise us of the Leclerc loom model in the order form comments section when ordering to ensure you get the correct length)

These metal pieces are used on the right and left sides of the Leclerc floor loom Shaft Frames. They include the two Shaft Frame Spring Clips installed but do not include the Shaft Frame End Spacers or screws to attach them to the Wooden Shaft Frame Bars which must be purchased separately. Note that each Shaft Frame End is sold separately and two Shaft Frame Ends are used per Shaft Frame.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part (the new one uses the large but some old screws used the small one). Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

These wooden bars are used to construct the top and bottom of the Shaft Frames used in Leclerc floor looms. They have a notch at the ends for mounting the metal Shaft Frame Ends. These are sold individually and two are required for a single shaft frame.
These bars come without any metal parts which must be purchased separately. Leclerc Counterbalance looms like the Fanny and Mira have a special bottom Shaft Frame Bar with a metal "V" shaped bar to attach the lamms. Please contact us for ordering information and pricing for this version of the Shaft Frame Bar.

These wire clips attach to the steel shaft frame (4 per frame) to hold the Heddle Support Bar in place on Leclerc floor looms. One of their key benefits is that they keep the heddle support from popping out of the frame and releasing heddles. The end of the clip snaps through the hold on the end of the heddle support bar and can be easily popped out if heddles are to be added or removed. Click Here to see how to install these clips on the shaft frame ends.
Note: For a short period around 1980, Leclerc switched to a simpler round clip that fit in the hole of the heddle support rods. These are shown to the right, often fell off and are no longer available. As long as there are a pair of holes in the floor loom shaft frames, the Shaft Frame Spring Clips can be installed. These round clips are also sometimes found in Leclerc table looms. They were actually unnecessary in this application as the heddle support bars were held in place by the slots on the side of the castle.
| ITEM # | DESCRIPTION | PRICE |
| 88800-0020 | Shaft Frame Spring Clip (each) | $3.25 CDN $3.20 US |
| 88800-0021 | Shaft Frame Spring Clip (set of 16) | $35.00 CDN $32.00 US |
These spring loaded clips hold the heddle support rods locked in place when weaving stopping them from flexing as pressure is applied. By sliding the spring loaded sleeve up or down, the Heddle Support Bar can be released to add heddles and/or make threading the heddles easier. These hooks screw into the wooden shaft frame at the top and bottom center. The difference in tension on Texsolv heddles with and without the Spring Hooks engaged is demonstrated in this video.
These spring clips have been dramatically improved over the design used in earlier Leclerc looms making them very easy to open and close. Click Here to see how to replace the older style spring clips on older shaft frames.
These spring clips can also be used to replace the pair of simpler Heddle Support Flat Hooks found on older Leclerc looms in the center of the shaft (top and bottom). Because the Heddle Support Bar releases horizontally from these, the heddles do not have to be moved to each side of the shaft to allow the Heddle Support Bar to flex enough to disconnect it.
These clips work with Leclerc looms and while it may be possible to use theme on looms from other manufacturers, we cannot confirm this. The picture here shows the approximate dimensions but the buyer is responsible for making this determination.

The Shaft Frame/Lam hooks are used on Leclerc Counterbalance Looms as well as the Colonial Jack loom to attach the hanging shafts to the Counterbalance or Jack cords as well as on the lams to connect them to the shafts. One of these hooks is screwed into the wood frame on each side at the top of each shaft and on the top of each lam.
The Heddle Support Bar Hooks are used on either side of the Heddle Support Spring Hook on wider shafts (ie. 60 inches and greater) to hold the Heddle Support Bar. They are also used as the only heddle support hooks on older looms. Both are made of metal.

One of these plastic spacers is attached to all four corners of each shaft on the side in the Leclerc jack looms like the Nilus, Nilus II and Artisat. They keep the metal side of the frame from scratching the vertical frame on either side and allow the shafts to move up and down between the shaft frame divider pegs. They are 1/2" long and 1/2" in diameter and are held in place using a single screw that goes through a hole in the metal Shaft Frame End and into the wood.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

On the Tissart and Gobelin Tapestry looms, the pair of shaft frames move horizontally along slots in the frame. Any extended nylon spacer in the corner of each shaft allows them to move easily and securely.
One of these two-piece plastic spacers is attached to all four corners of each shaft on the side so a total of 8 are required for a two shaft loom. They are held in place using a single screw (not included) that goes through a hole in the metal Shaft Frame End and into the wood.

Also refered to as "Jack Glides", these parts are attached to the outer end of the jacks in Leclerc looms like the Nilus, Nilus II and Artisat. They are designed to support and lift the shafts at each end as the treadles are depressed. The smooth surface reduces friction as they move horizontally across the base of the shaft reducing the force required for the weaver to lift the shaft. Normally attached to the wooden jack by staples, these can also be glued in place.
The standard jack (top) is used for most Leclerc looms but a special version for the Minerva metal shaft frames is also available.If the old jack support is damaged, the 2 staples that are normally used to attach it can be carefully removed using a small screwdriver and a hammer. They can then be re-inserted to hold the new jack support. The screwdriver needs to be gently tapped into the wood beside the staple until the tip is below the top of the staple. Then, the screwdriver is tapped under the staple top on an angle so that it can be used to pry the staple up. Click Here for a set of pictures showing this process. It may be necessary to drill four small holes through the new jack support (using the holes in the wood) once it is installed in the wooden jack, to make the staples easier to tap back in place with a hammer. Also make sure the top of the staples are flush with the wooden surface to ensure it does not rub on another jack.
Note that earlier Leclerc Jack looms used a shaped wooden jack end instead of the support. Some modification may be necessary to use these plastic supports with these older looms. The whole jack can also be replaced with the new style. Contact us for pricing.

Note: If you are replacing pegs on your loom that have broken off but cannot grab hold of what is left of the broken peg, there is an easy way to remove these without damaging your loom:
The block of wood is very important, not just to protect the loom, but to ensure you are pulling on the screw in a direction parallel to its length (90 degrees to the loom frame). If you don't use a block, some of the force you apply will go towards pulling the screw sideways and it will just ruin the grip the screw threads have on the peg pulling the screw out but leaving the peg in and damaged.
Now a standard part on new Leclerc Nilus, Nilus II, Colonial v2, Fanny II, Mira II and Weavebird floor looms, the Warp Beam Advance Control System is designed to prevent excessive yarn advance when the weaver releases the brake to advance the warp.
The Leclerc Warp Beam Advance Control System is designed to slow the rotation (advance) of the warp beam to ensure it will rotate at the same speed as the cloth beam when advancing the fabric with the cloth take-up handle. Mounted to the loom frame using 2 screws at the end of the warp beam, this friction system is completely adjustable and can be completely disabled by the weaver when winding the warp on or not required.
A replacement for the round white nylon wear pad is also available.
The Warp Beam Advance Control System is now available as an upgrade to any of the company's existing floor looms. Please specify your loom model when ordering. A alternative design is available for older Dorothy, Compact and Artisat looms.

Standard on the Leclerc Weavebird computer-dobby floor loom and also included with the Flying Shuttle Beater option for most Leclerc floor looms, this beater handle is available as an add-on to most existing Leclerc floor looms. Made of 1 1/4 inch diameter Maple hardwood, this handle provides the weaver with a handy point to grab the beater assembly.
The beater handle is 24 inches in length and is attached to the beater using 4 x 3/4 inch long screws which attach to the top of the upper batton handtree. Note that it can also be attached to the front as shown here. While designed for the standard Leclerc beater, this handle may work on other non-Leclerc looms. The metal part that screws to the wooden beater is 1 1/4 inches long with holes on 1/2 centers. The distance between the holes is 21 3/4 inches and these must be drilled before installing the handle to avoid splitting the wood.

These Wooden Pegs can be used to replace missing or damaged ones on various Leclerc products. All are made of solid Maple with a clear varnished finish and all except the Warping Board/Mill peg have a 3/16" threaded metal rod with a wingnut and washer for mounting. Dimensions for both the wood and threaded metal part on all pegs are provided below to verify they will fit before ordering.
The Warping Board/Mill Peg fits most older Leclerc Warping Boards and Warping Mills and has a narrow saw kerf cut in one end to make it easier to install and remove than earlier designs. The Tension Box Peg can be used to turn an old "3 Peg" Tension Box to the current "4 Peg" Tension Box.
The current Cendrel Inkle loom comes with 1 Slotted, 1 Flat and 18 Regular Pegs. There have been a number of variations of the loom over the years so it is important to ensure that these match your loom before ordering.
Note that older Cendrel loom models had a thicker 1 inch frame and a larger hole and used a peg with a narrow diameter at one end. The current "new" Cendrel pegs have a 1 inch threaded rod that is designed to go through the Cendrel's 3/4 inch thick frame with room for the wingnut to fasten it. The old style pegs with the two diameters are no longer available but we have "modified" versions of the pictured pegs with longer threaded rod (1 1/4") that can be used on the "old" 1 inch thick Cendrel frames.

This metal hinge is used on the Fanny, Fanny II, Fanny, Nilus, Nilus II, Colonial and other Leclerc floor looms. This is the hinge at the base of the loom that allows the back beam to fold out and is also used as the hinge for the back support leg on newer looms with this feature. The Hinge comes with a set of 6 screws to install it and there is one on each side of the loom.

This Lever Catch is used on the Dorothy table loom to catch and hold the shaft levers that are depressed by the weaver. It's contoured shape enables the automatic release of the previous picks levers when they are depressed. The weaver can also use their hand to easily release all the raised shafts. This Lever Catch is made of durable nylon and is approximately 2 3/8 inches wide. The Lever Catch also includes the metal rod it pivots on which is 2 3/4 inches long to extend into the mounting holes in the front and the back of the castle.

These wooden brackets are designed to hold the ends of the pivot rod for the Artisat and Minerva loom treadle set to attach it to the loom frame. The brackets are attached to the loom frame using the hardware included (carriage bolt, washer and wingnut) and will work on any 4 or 8 shaft Artisat loom with front hinged treadles. The supports pivot when the wing nut is loosened to allow the treadle set to be removed and can be rotated 180 degrees to get them out of the way (pictured left in the bottom picture) when the loom is folded. These brackets are also used on the Treadle Stands for the table looms like the Dorothy, Meco and Medico.
These brackets can be used on older Artisat looms which had either the metal or a slightly different wooden bracket (click to see pictures). They are cut with a grove to fit tight over the loom frame beam and can be used regardless of whether there is a groove or not in the loom frame. The price below is for a single bracket but 2 are required to support the treadle set (one for each side). Some weavers prefer the newer wooden brackets over the older metal ones as they lock the treadle set in position. The pair of bolts for the wooden blocks are also available as a separate item.
If they are replacing metal brackets, a new treadle rod may be required so it is long enough to be used with the slightly wider spacing between the wooden brackets to prevent the treadles from falling out of the brackets if they move to one side. The treadle rod normally used with the wooden brackets on a 4 Shaft Looms/Stands is 14 1/2 long which is the distance between the centers of the two holes the brackets attach to on the loom frame. The shorter 14 inch rod in the older treadle sets can be replaced with the long treadle rod below which includes the pushnuts for each end.

These nylon spacers are attached to the upper part of the beater swords on the Artisat loom. They fit into a pre-drilled hole and are held in place with the attached screw. If the hole is not present in the loom, this will have to be drilled for the spacer to fit. The spacers prevent the wooden sword from rubbing against the Artisat's metal hinge mechanism that allows the front part of the loom to fold in. Note that the screws supplied are the standard square head screws that require the special square screwdriver originally supplied with the loom. The price is for a single spacer and screw. Two spacers are required for a loom (one on each sword).

On 4 shaft looms like the Fanny, Mira, Nilus and Nilus II, the 4 Lams are attached to a metal C-shaped bracket on the side which allows them to pivot as the treadles raise or lower them. This replacement bracket comes with a set of screws to install it. The bolt that goes through the end of the lams is sold separately.
Note that very old M-Type models use a different Lam design and the attachment point is part of one of the castle sides. For these looms to be modified to use the newer metal bracket, new Lams may also be required.

In Multishaft jack floor looms (more than 4 shafts) with more complicated patterns there is sometimes a problem where shaft(s), not attached to the treadle being depressed, rise slightly making the base of the shed too uneven for the shuttle to go through. This "Floating Shaft" problem is hard to understand as it often only occurs on some patterns and only some picks. We have put together a Floating Shaft Explanation to help understand what is happening and how to fix it.
The problem is caused by the weight of the treadles not being depressed and newer Leclerc Jack looms with 8 or more shafts include a set of Treadle Springs which help reduce the weight of these treadles to stop them from pulling down the lams they are attached to. While they provide support for the treadle when not being used, the spring stretches to allow the treadle to be depressed when it is needed. The springs can be used selectively on specific treadles that are causing problems and can be disabled when not needed by unhooking them or lengthening the cord attaching them to the Jack Box.
Leclerc Treadle Springs are specially designed with a tension and length that balances the treadle weight but does not impart a great increase in force required by the weaver to depress the treadle. Also unlike some looms that use cheap elastics for this function, these Treadle Springs are durable and designed to last longer. Note that the Nilart loom also used Shaft Weights to perform a similar function.
There are a number of ways to configure the Treadle Springs to connect the Treadle to the loom frame. Some looms have a metal rod under the back Jack Box Cover plate that the Treadle Springs thread on to. Newer looms have a row of screws in the back Cover Plate and a short section of Texsolv cord attached to one end of the Spring is used to attach to them.
The other end of the Spring can attach to either the Treadle Hook, one of the Treadle Screw Eyes or a special screw hook in the end of the Treadle either using a Metal Clip on the end of the Spring or another section of Texsolv cord. Each Treadle Spring comes with a Metal Clip and a Section of Texsolv cord allowing it to be configured to match the loom design.
Note that one Treadle Spring is required for each treadle (ie. 10 for an 8 shaft/10 treadle loom). Click Here for more information on Treadle Spring installation in our manual section and click on the pictures to the left to see larger pictures of some of the different configurations.
On earlier Leclerc looms without a row of screws or a bar under the back Jack Box cover plate there is no place to attach the Treadle Springs. For these looms we have kits that include the Springs, Texsolv cord, Clips and Screws to upgrade a loom. To install these, holes must be measured and drilled in the loom back cover and information how to do this is included. These kits are available for 8, 12 or 16 Shaft floor looms.

In addition to the Treadle Spring approach, Leclerc Nilart looms had an additional mechanism for dealing with rising shafts. Metal weights could be added to the top of problem shafts to keep them from rising. These weights have holes that fit over a pair of pins on the top of each shaft frame. These pins are long enough to hold multiple weights.

This tool is used to help disassemble the Nilart loom for transport or storage and was included with the original loom. These often go missing as the loom changes hands over the years.
Four long bolts connect the front frame of the Nilart loom to the Castle. These bolts have square heads that are recessed in holes in the back of the castle sides. Because of their shape and the depth they are at, a normal wrench or hexagon socket cannot be used to undo them.
Leclerc constructed this special tool that fits onto the head of these bolts. A set of holes in the other end allow a screwdriver to be inserted to allow the weaver to apply a harder force in case the bolts have rusted or have been heavily torqued. The tool is also useful to keep the frame bolts tight over time if they vibrate loose to make sure the loom isn't damaged.

While some Leclerc Floor looms like the Artisat, Nilus and Nilus II come with a handy storage shelf on the top of the castle, this was not always the case. These Castle Tops can be ordered for older 4 and 8 shaft looms in various widths and include 2 or 4 screws to fasten them. Holes will have to be drilled in the top of each of the castle sides. Please identify which loom the Castle Top is to be built for as these are special order products.

These Front-hinged treadles are used on Artisat 4 shaft floor looms. They can be modified for use on 8 shaft front-hinged treadle looms as well (contact us for more information). A different treadle design is used on Artisat models with Back-hinge treadles. These treadles are also used with some of the newer and older model table loom Treadle Stands for the Meco and Medico table looms.
The treadle set mounting brackets can be used to replace the original metal mounting brackets but a new longer treadle rod may be required. Details can be found here.

These metal brace bars are used on the Artisat floor looms to secure the front frame of the loom in the open weaving position. Undoing the wingnut at the top allows the front section of the loom to fold up and inwards.
These braces fit all configurations (ie. 4 or 8 shafts, front or back-hinge treadles) and the price shown is for one Brace Bar. Two of these are used on Artisat looms.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

Early versions of the Compact loom used a simple smooth metal pin that slid into a hole on the bottom of each shaft to lift it. This design was later replaced with a threaded rod and a set of nuts that secure the shaft to the Jack Shaft Connector. The improved design prevents the jacks from coming unattached if the shaft does not descend at the same rate and uses the weight of the shafts to help pull the shaft down. The nuts can also be moved slightly to allow the height of the shaft to be adjusted.
These Jack Shaft Connectors are available in sets of 4 and 8 to upgrade all the jacks in a 4 or 8 shaft loom and also come with a punch tool that is used to remove the old connector where they attach to the wooden jacks, and install the new ones. A hammer is required but not included.

The cloth beam pawl on early Compact looms was a small metal "L" shaped bracket that sat on top of the ratchet wheel and used gravity to hold it in place. On newer looms Leclerc improved the design with a longer more sturdy pawl that contacted the wheel underneath it and used a weight on the other end to apply more force. This pawl does a better job of locking the cloth beam in place as the warp is being advanced and can be used on old Compact looms. It mounts in the same hole as the old pawl and is shown in the lower picture to the left with the old pawl shown above.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

Treadle Springs were added to the Leclerc Compact loom to stop shafts from rising when multiple treadles were attached in something that is commonly referred to as Floating Shafts. The springs are designed to counteract the weight of the shafts and are mounted on the back of the loom. The Upgrade kit includes a new backplate with the screws to attach the springs and a set of 10 springs with the proper Texsolv cords.
Note that most looms have a round hole cut in the underside of the end of the treadles for the cord knot. They will still work but an elastic may have to be wrapped around the end of the treadle if the slot cut in the treadle has widened too much. The metal "L" shaped Treadle Locks that perform this function on newer Compact looms are also available. Contact us for more information.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new backplate. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

| 88800-0287 | Compact Treadle Spring Upgrade Kit | $94.95 CDN $85.95 US |
These metal Treadle Locks were added to the end of each Treadle on the Leclerc Compact loom to lock the Treadle Cords and Treadle Spring Cords in place, especially if the slot cut in the Treadle widened over time.
These Treadle Locks can be added to looms without them by drilling a small hole in the end of the treadle for the screw (included) to go in. They are sold individually but one Treadle Lock is needed for each treadle so 10 are needed for an 8 shaft Compact and 6 for a 4 shaft loom.

The original Beater Swords on the Compact loom held the Reed at a fixed height. In later versions the Swords were modified to allow the Reed and Shuttle Race to be lowered to optimise the size of the shed. These adjustable Swords can be used to replace the existing Beater Swords to add this functionality to older Compact looms. They are sold in pairs, are attached to the loom frame and the Upper and lower Beater Battens with the same bolts and screws and can be changed easily with the loom warped.
Note: Parts may require the special square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

These wooden braces are attached to the top of the castle at the front and back to keep the two sides parallel and strenghen the looms.
On the original Minerva loom, these braces were not included and Leclerc later provided an upgrade to the front and the back to ensure the sides of the castle stayed parallel and did not twist or narrow causing the shafts to not move easily up and down. Note that the original Minerva brace had a hole on the right side for the Second Warp Beam brake cord. The current brace does not include this and would have to be drilled by the buyer. Two are required, one for the front and the other for the back
On the original Compact loom models, a single brace was included at the back but later Leclerc improved the design by adding a front brace to provide a more rigid design. The front brace also reduces the force on the nylon shaft guides at the front caused by the first shaft pulling forward when beating the warp if thick yarn that binds on the heddle eyes is used. Normally just one brace needs to be added to the front of the loom.
Prices shown are for a single brace with the pair of screws need to attach it. A small hole needs to be drilled in the castle on each side for the screw to avoid splitting the castle side.
Note: Parts may require the special small square end screwdriver to remove the old and/or install the new part. Please ensure you have these tools before ordering to avoid installation problems.

These nylons spacers are used in a number of Leclerc models for various purposes. The large brown/orange ones are glued/stapled to the wooden frame to protect the wood from being scratched by the metal "hooks" used to fold/unfold the looms. They are also used as spacers in the Lam mounting brackets on older Colonial Counterbalance looms.
The smaller white spacers are used to separate the jacks in the Compact loom to reduce friction. The current 8 shaft Compact model uses 36 of these spacers which replaced the metal washers that were used in earlier models. More information can be found in the 4 to 8 shaft upgrade assembly manuals located here.

These nylon spacers are threaded to act as nuts to lock the loom support brace in position while the loom is unfolded for weaving on both the 24 inch Voyageur and Diana looms. They also act as a bumper for the beater to stop it as it gets close to the front breast beam.
These are sold individually and 2 are used on these looms.

These parts are used to replace or repair the Solenoids on a Leclerc Weavebird or Diana Computer Dobby loom.
While the whole Solenoid can be replaced if it stops working, the plunger kit can be used to replace the moving shaft and white tip if the shaft is bent and does not move freely or causes the tip to hit the guide. (Click on the pictures to enlarge)
Note that the white plastic tip unscrews from the metal shaft making it easy to change the Solenoid shaft without removing the Solenoid from the loom. Care must be taken when holding the Solenoid plunger shaft while unscrewing or screwing the tip, to not damage or bend the shaft.

These parts are designed to fit Leclerc Table Warping Mills and are the most common parts that are missing. Other parts not shown are also available upon request.
A pair of wooden Crossbars (A) are used on the Warping Mill clamped between the vertical posts. They have a small wooden piece held in place with a wingnut at each end which can be removed. Note that we cannot supply the small wooden piece by itself as they are made by cutting them out of the piece of wood used to construct the Crossbar. If either of the small pieces are missing a new Crossbar must be purchased. The price below is for a single Crossbar and two are required for the operation of the Warping Mill.
Each Crossbar has 3 removable Wooden Pegs (B) to loop the yarn around and to hold the cross. There are a total of 6 included with the Table Warping Mill (3 per Crossbar)and the price below is for a single Peg. The Crossbar can be purchased with or without the Pegs. The wooden hexagonal spacer (C) fits on the vertical metal shaft under the warping mill and provides a smooth surface for the mill to rotate on. (Click on the pictures to enlarge)
Larger Crossbars for the Floor Warping Mill are also available on request but note that this is only for the newer version with the round vertical posts. The older version with the square posts used a different design which is no longer made.
