    Was in the garage last night offering up the foot boards to NUDGERS tow bar :)
    Gonna be far too much of a faff on to mate these up to the folding footpegs :confused:
    And when done they would stick out too much for my liking :(
    So I’ve removed the mounting shafts and with a bit of Dilligaf modifying I’ve decided to mount them in a fixed position :)
    First job....remove the mounting lug with a hacksaw :) CD3432FB-B96A-4242-ABD9-0613F31EBD8E.jpeg

    I admire your workmanship Dilli, I think you're a metalworking god!

    I am going to have a welder look at what can be done, it’s only done 34,000 Miles & the engine & gearbox are great as is the living area, will take a view on how much versus how long it will last, it may be worth biting the bullet & doing it all properly now rather than a bit at a time.

    Think I would get that repaired and put an MOT on it then get rid of it otherwise you’ll be doing that again next year :(

    It has an MOT until June, just put it in for service to make sure it was ready to go for next season & garage warned me about the rot. I need it for next year so will have to repair.

    You’re right mate, if it’s getting done it’s getting done properly then sealed good & proper.
