G'day all. New member from sunny Melbourne who has learnt a lot already from some very useful forums (so a big thanks already to those involved in the forums of emk3 and Nicholas24). I've recently picked up a SB Model 40 and a later model (I think, based on the decals) twin rail 17" SB Model 45. I've never restored anything before but am keen to try my hand at restoring one (the most original) to as close to new and the other as a daily driver. I also hope to live up to the promise I have made to my very patient bride to not buy any more... Cheers,


I have fallen into the Scott Bonnar well and I cannot get out. 40/45.

G,day Tone,

Welcome to the ODK Forums. As you've already noticed there is plenty of Scott Bonnar info here, thus you'll never have to go anywhere else to gain much valued knowledge.

There's much self satisfaction to be gained from doing something yourself and also a lot of money to be saved I guess.

Cheers,
BB.


I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.

Not in changing a leaking water pump in a V8 Fairlane! I'll pay the professionals for that thanks.

PS: stupid quote function playing up again.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

G'day Mowerfreak.
I will check out the quote functionality.
Apologies for this.

I suspect the issue is isolated to this forum.

Cheers

Hello Megatone, BB and Mowerfreak
A warm welcome from me too.

I think you have thought this through - restoration and daily driver.
It can be rewarding and so do-able.

Please keep us informed as you go.

All the best.
Jack
