Thanks very much for the comprehensive advice CyberJack.
I've commenced the stripping of the frame so will post a few pics of the rails tomorrow hopefully, if I get a chance to remove the clutch.
I'm relieved about the straightening of the reel blade. A replacement reel wasn't in my plans.
Also, thanks to Grumpy for embedding the pics in my post. I was all at sea trying to do that.
Cheers,
Christian
