  1. Mine were stainless steel runners with steel hatch. Changed the runners with the HDPE and had a new hatch made from aluminium. Now opens with one finger.
  2. HDPE. I found a company online who would cut a small sheet into strips. Then drilled and countersunk with holes tapped into the steel underneath with some Sticks Like S*** for good measure.
  3. Dave Cottle 07729 129493 but don't say the number came from me. Their engines are usually installed by Chris Jones 07887 565531
  4. I can only say we are very happy with our Aintree widebeam. First stage payment made about 2 weeks before the first lockdown so weeks of wondering if we had lost our money but no. The build took longer than originally envisioned due to 2nd and 3rd lockdowns adding to the general shortage of parts, including the engine. When we were sent the invoice for the engine I returned it and asked for it to be amended to add the engine serial number. That way I could speak periodically with Beta to check progress. As for follow up after launch then yes, we've had some problems but they were all sorted and even now 3 years later I can email or text their trouble shooter and get an answer. I'm not an Everton fan but it might help if you are!
  5. I dip mine with water finding paste. Never had any in the propulsion tank but the internal generator tank had around 30 litres in due to poor installation of the filler. Removed by Pela pump.
  6. Ours is on an internal tank. I have to lift a floorboards to access it.
  7. We don't have a hatch on the propulsion tank but we do on the generator one as the fill pipe is offset. Our hatch is about 10" x 5" with 2 hinges on one edge with the other secured by 2 M10 countersunk screws with a nitrile rubber seal under.
  8. I used one when I was 16 back in 1963 putting up a mezzanine floor at Dads garage. Rented one myself to do the same thing in late 70s when I selected the wrong power cartridge. The nail penetrated into the Ladies toilet. No training back then.
  9. Symphony Paints in Birmingham mixed Mason's Midnight Blue for us from their records. The reference was 100383
  10. Besides the usual sticks and stones a half empty can of Coke on the B & F. It missed me and landed on the roof.
  11. You have put the edge connectors onto the PCB properly. From memory there is one connector that is easy to misplace. To check for problems with pump or docking station remove cassette, put finger tip over the hole in the vacuum tit (centre top) and press the micro switch in. The pump should run for a few seconds and stop. The other source of problems in the docking station are the non return valves that sit in the pump chamber. They can get bits of effluent stuck behind them. I assume that the bowl retains water.
