Yeah, it got put in the back burner for a while as I've been busy getting the bathroom done.
Getting those brackets sorted was incredibly lucky too. Brent won't take anything for them either. Top guy. Just goes to show the power of the internet sometimes. I was really concerned about them as I'd no idea how to sort them out. The one pictured especially as its so weak it contorted awfully when i was unbolting the charcoal canister. It's definitely shot. Suspect they are spot welded so I'm going to find the spot welds and drill out. Will look at having these galvanised before welding them on so I don't end up having the same issue. Still can't understand whyothey weren't done from the factory....
Been talking to a local restoration place in Leicester via Facebook (Faircharm restoration's) They clearly know their stuff. Have suggested it needs blasting with aluminium oxide or garnets. Vapour or soda blasting are too fine to remove what need removing. Have asked them to quote for the blasting work and to paint in two pack etch primer as they've suggested.
