Yeah but dunt it corrode and create a covering which further oxygen can't get through, so it effectively galvanises itself by corroding? ...going back a few years to O level chemistry, that's how i remember it and one of it's important features?

if that was the case, why duz the aircraft industry spend millions on Anodising and Aluchroming?

hmmm...dunno - is it so we gets to fly in shiny planes and pay a bit more for our parking ay Newquay Airport?

S'funny that cuz ah wuz just typing: Cuz we like shiny planes an' they've got too much munee!

great minds....no grate minds.....etc

i dunno which is worserer - Grippa being considered the same as a Kernow peep = or the other way round.

and probly 90% of the population down ere too!!! I'm only a few miles out though, was bought up in Tavistock (home of the fairey!) which is a coupla miles over the border.

yeah thanks sean
i have seen the manual so i have all the dimmensions for the fixings&boltholes,what i want is the depth of the sides but you say you have 1 stripped so if you could be so kind as to post some pics of the sides i might be able to estimate where the chassis dips down at the back and how deep it is .
because if i am right it gets a bit deeper in depth over the rear springhangers thanks
