Thanks. It is really nice to fit something back on with the intention that it's back on for good.Well I hope ya bum heals up.
Not fair and I want some quality marital bliss on my own in the lockup.
Looking fantastic mate.
It was 2.5mm x 12mm. I got 19 metres for about £14. From a company called Reddiseals via ebay. First time I’ve used butyl tape so I’ve got nothing to compare it to but it certainly seemed to grip the glass a treat. I cut a bit off to test and even after mauling it about and experimenting it stayed flexible and sticky. I put a strip in the frame then the glass then another strip before fixing in the shiny trim.
Don’t worry, that shiny won’t last long.Shiny!!!
Just showing off now
I've gone for solid mount at the front then those home made rubber bush things at the back. Fingers crossed.That’s so good, I think my tank retaining bolts had some thick rubber washers on to damp out the shocks.
Thinks your son might be starting his degree when this gets finished!
Word of warning. There may be different types of neoprene tape - I thought I was buying something like that which wetsuits are made from. Typically I had both kids in the Lightweight the first time I was out in the rain after the rebuild. Much hilarity as the foam between the top and bottom parts of the bulkhead started blowing bubbles. Hope you got a different type!
Thanks for the warning. I'll go and get a bit and put it in some water to see what happens. Knowing my luck I will have the bubbly type.
Yes, mine did too! Maybe it was bubbles forming between the tape and metal, I hope not to find out as I like to think the canvas isn't going back on.
Only time will tell then. Maybe that's what i'll call the landy when it's done, Bubbles.
