Thanks for the quick reply BB, bloody legend!

I did watch the video that the guys did up for removing the reel, and yes I got a bit carried away. haha
I'll sort it out this afternoon now that I have some more light.

I'll replace the height adjuster completely I think. I feel that the thread may be too damaged to work properly even if I straighten it.

Stand by for pics of: rails and catch rubber attachment points.

On a side note: what would be the best method for ordering a complete set or replacement nuts/bolts/bearings? Shall I just go through manual and write down the part numbers? It seems some online shops have a few bits and pieces but not all. Can anyone in the brains trust that has done this advise on the most successful method?

oh and I've also purchased one of these to swap out.
ebay engine 6.5hp

Probably a bit premature considering I haven't checked the rails thoroughly, however I figured that i'll find another 45 if these rails are no good.

Cheers
DB
