Post by: Double Gloucester on February 02, 2014, 08:06:38 pm: Ahh, the yellow thing is a hook :D It is on a short chain that i use as a safety on the dump trailer and i store it wrappad around the front cross member.

It was that little yellow coloured bit in there that threw me.

Agreed!

I need to come up and see this shiny new work. It looks really good in the pictures. Has your mate got any of that blue paint left?... :D

The shiny paintwork is just there to protect the repaired metal, i expect it will end up a little worse for wear once I take it to work. I had it sprayed with 2pack proper chemical stuff, non of your wishy washy water based s**te!

I have already decided to use Dinitrol, anyone know which one is best for box sections on older vehicle or I will have to check out their website?
