Hi Lauren . It was a wonderfull day as always ! Could you please thank all the volunteers who make this event happen ! Laying on sunny weather was a master stroke by the way ! Hope they got the Conqueror moving again ! Would have liked to see the Scammell and Militant do a little turn in the arena in the mud ! Maybe next year ! Thanks again Get well soon , Andy -

Sorry John , don't know the owner but hopefully he'll give a lick of paint in the not too distant future to keep the dreaded rust away ! :-D -
Another example of near disaster only prevented by luck ! Something went wrong...

I think that old Bedford was very lucky to find you mate ! I can see she'll be as good as new by the time you finish :-D!

Thank you Bernard for that most informative reply , I may call you as an expert witness if I have to take legal action against the paint manufacturer in the future ! Having a well known celebrity on my legal team may make all the difference !:-D Oh and message received have slowed the restoration down !:nut:

Thanks Bernard , can I just clarify that I SHOULD sand the timber BEFORE applying the ally primer ( Timber already plained all round so nice and smooth , so is it just for a key) ),don't sand the ally at all and then sand the undercoat only when fully hardened ! Just want to brief my legal team in case the paint should part company in the next sixty years ! :-D

Hi Tony , after much sniffing and plaining of the original remnants of the locker body floor by my wise old Dad it was decided that Sapele would be the best match for the original ! :angel: Mahogany being a little on the expensive side ! :wow: The lockers are formed of a less expensive type of timber I hope ! Plow bolts are a little bit of a problem at the moment but give it a few years and I'm sure I'll get there !:red:

Hi Richard , thanks for the reply, I'm using Sapele and have had Aluminium wood primer recommended from searching the web ! Now I have your recommendation I think thats the way forward ! Part of me would like to just varnish it as its such a nice timber but its for Daisy so DBG it has to be ! :-D

Any thoughts on which is the best way to prime hardwood as I have read rather a lot of internet adverts this evening and am still none the wiser :nut:! So I would like to hear other forum members experiences please ? :-D
