Stormin 4,458 #11 Posted August 23, 2015 Looks like it got a bit damp, Paul. Unless the water on the seat was due to over excitement. 2 pmackellow and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #19 Posted January 15, 2016 I'm following Alans thread with great interest Norm, but I'm asking an expert to do it, a man who has been working with fibreglass for many a year, he made Steve D and I a couple of covers for our Versatiller rotavators, proper job he made too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
