Dumb iron rot.

badadj · Jul 19, 2009

Took the bumper off to give it a fresh coat of paint and some tlc yesterday, and whilst checking the dumb iron for any bad signs noticed that the nearside one has an elongated rotten patch on the side of it, I managed to push a decent sized hole into it with the handle end of the wire brush and pull a fair bit of rust and ****e.

Question is; for a hole this size ( approximately half inch by three inches ) is it worth patching or replace the dumb iron itself?

but i spose for what a dumb iron costs £29.00 its worth doing
