I bet you didn't ask the indoor manager if she wanted it fixed. Most likely would have asked for a more efficient, more powerful, lighter and cordless.

I'm sure that Mr Grumpy bragging about his repair got a lot of muttering angry 2.

Good Work Geoff!

You have the satisfaction of having made something that may not be available: Will work as well, if not better , than the original: will probably survive far longer than the original.

Oh the Job Satisfaction!

Especially after being told "You won't get one of them. Haven't been available for years"

Years ago, the local Austin agent told an ex colleague "You won't get a replacement for that broken clutch slave cylinder push rod for your A35" I wonder if he went back and showed the one that we made up? Only a bit of welding and filing involved.

The downside? Probably the better wheel will result in something else failing. At least you know what to do when the one on the other side breaks!

People like us are no good for today's "Kleenex" Society. We like Trigger's broom, three new heads and only two handles.

Howard

Fat fingers again!
