VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Quality mate. Get a good coating of this chain wax all over them before your first outing. It will keep them new and shiney. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure you take the time to get them all set up properly and you'll be happy ever after. Copper slip is another good one to stop the elements attacking them too mate.

Gilly17 51 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Time to attack the rust Took the black trim off the other week and this is what I foundNice hole in the rear arch and plent off rust!!Nice 6" hole in the sillPlenty of rot and rust in the front wing and that's only 1 side Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Oh mate, that's a big hole in the sill! Will you replace the front wing or repair it? Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly17 51 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'am going to try and repair it. Found a repair panel on eBay, that replaces the part of the wing from the trim down and weld a fresh bit of metal in where it's rusted. I've been reading up about patten panels and nobody has got a good word to say about them! bennyk and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites

bennyk 1,238 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Mine was the same, wait till I start pulling Bealieboy 's apart! I don't think it'd be worth the time and hassle trying to repair wings, and chances are the bits you repair won't take long to start rusting. Gilly17 and Bealieboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
