I have used Zebo Grate Polish for years, to blacken and polish the cast iron bases of Traditional Victorian Oil lamps. I still have an almost full tube in my workshop cupboard. Before Zebo, I used it's predecessor, Zebrite Grate Polish. I can still remember when the name changed some time around 2000 and, apparently, a long time before that it was called Zebra, having been originally inintroduced in the 1890's. Zebo has not been available for a number of years, but the HotSpot polish packaging seems to be a fair attempt to relate to Zebo, whether it is as good, I have no idea. Fortunately, I still have enough Zebo to out last me, (he said smugly). Edited to Add :- I have just looked at an advertisement for Hotspot Grate Polish, and it is apparently Water Base. This makes it different from Zebo, which is described on the box, as "Inflamable"

It is my understanding that the tug will not have a new engine installed, whilst the square box welded into the centre of the superstructure still remains in place.

Calcutt stock filters for the BMC1.6 engine https://calcuttboatsshop.com/epages/c3a6cb0f-3e0f-4132-9636-974f7502e04d.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/c3a6cb0f-3e0f-4132-9636-974f7502e04d/Products/LU357 Edited to add:- I found that the cheapest place to purchase BMC oil filters was the local Agricultural Merchants. I used to buy both oil and fuel filters for my BMC 1.5 in bulk, and got trade discount, which made them about a quarter of the cost from the local Chandleries.

The cases which I referred to are not "mooring agrements" but legally enforceable entitlements enshrined in the deeds of the property, which cannot be cancelled.

Check the deeds of your new property. Whether C&RT have any rights will depend on how the land was initially sold for housing, and what it's former status was. I know of several sites where the land was sold to include historical mooring rights, those rights were contained within the deeds, which also transferred the mooring rights to any new owner, so it is worth spending some time on the research.

I found that TCut and 0000 grade wire wool worked well, as far as as could tell it was just a stronger version of Brasso.
