Thanks for setting that out for us Dave, it keeps the previous thread on this repair from being an orphan. Having a clear outcome from the project makes it a lot more interesting in the Outdoorking archives.

I'm sorry about carving your long post into slabs so crudely, but you can only have 10 pics per post, and obviously I wasn't going to edit what you had written, so I just took a meat axe to it and divided it up, as you can see. If you'd prefer to have it handled differently just send me a PM - this is your thread and should be handled your way.
