I think you've done alright there. I paid about £1k for four new injectors about ten years ago!

I have a similar tale of a near miss from a snapping cable. This one could have been horrendous. I was an apprentice in a boat yard that built fishing boats and yachts. We'd just completed a 33ft fast fishing boat and it had been wheeled out of the shed and was being craned onto a low loader to...

Utter genious Gel. Sadly mine is going the same way now. I think I need an anvil and miniature steam hammer in my boot.

A few days driving has revealed that without the prop fitted, the whine is still present. Same symptoms as before the prop removal - it only occurs after the car has stood over night (but not everytime) - and only lasts for a short while. It sometimes takes a minute or two before it occurs, and...

So I've managed to source a replacement which will be arriving tomorrow. I will need to inspect it upon arrival but if it's okay I will be getting it shot blasted, and depending on the price I may get it thermal metal sprayed. There are a couple of firms local to me that do it. If that's too...

Like what you're doing @FirebladeGuy

Very handy. Well done.

That's a great website isn't it! A most helpful resource.

Looking great. What top coat did you use in the end?
