Thanks for that I was looking at Tech-7 as it sticks everything and will never move

Cool

Tiger seal is supposed to be really good stuff, my local spray shop sells it for £8 for a silicon seal sized tube.

That's what I've used for my floor and aerocatches. It's sticky stuff. However it's a 1 fit tube, if you don't use it all don't expect to use it again.

I found a way around that Steve.....dead simple, 8 or 10mm drill and drill it out till you get to good adhesive then clean your drill....done it three times with one tube so far, but you are right you have to forgo some of it curing in the tube.

Kev, I've got a 12mm drill still covered in the horrible stuff. I ended cutting the tube up and spreading it so as not to waste it!

Hi Martin, I recently found the oval tubing on Ebay, it was a steel stockist in the midland, and he was decidedly cheaper than my local steel stockist

Hi Arfon I found some wishbone tube and took it to my friends garage on Thursday and put it in a hydraulic press and gently formed it in to shape,did not turn out too bad.Will try and make them up during the week when the steroids wear off. Aidan
