I recently saw an example of some of Barry's work, a high pressure rubber to metal hydraulic hose repair then further addition of metal pipe.
Simple enough stuff, but very neatly done.

As mentioned above, have a deadline date and ensure the project remains on track.

Hi, I know what you mean about the rack but Barry said it needs a new rack and although they are rare, he can get one, so all I can do is take his advice. He is also sorting the other MOT issues, including a suspension leak and the parking break inefficiency. I am not sure if it will be ready for the meet but if it is, I will be there….Cheers

Yes, things seem to drift a lot, time wise. I think I will need to keep on top of that but I am just leased it is getting sorted.👍
