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
