Well that makes me feel much better Jim, As i have never !(says he, with fingers crossed)! snaped a line, i thought it was me,, not tying hard enought !!!

The last chance to do the Gap road !!! ,, was on a few other forums, so would guess it was pretty busy !!!

?? Fence ?? Think you mean the Cavitation plate these exist to keep surface air from reaching your prop all outboards and stern drive have them in the leg. bar little ones of about 2hp !!

JST, and a while ago,, no cage,, or dented wings

Must be 9mm then, as a couple of mm smaller the whats on the 8274 !! was bought a few years back for the [wisper] Huskey[/wisper] Will check it some time,, Maybe some deals at Sodbury next week ???

Yep,, correct, 13 was the one with the optional under side inspection !!! so the bog was 11,, off to look at csw's site

Looks very much like it,,, Punch 13 !!!! been stuck in that one before !!, gave it a miss this time

Mmm, something to do with the "short person"

well searched Tony and all the knocks,, we not my doing either,, ref previous carefull owner !!!

And looks much better with black ties, than white

If I remember right, most marine ropes come on a 200/220 meter roll, so only about 7 members needed who want to buy,

Oh James,, you are so funny,,, NOT Anyone tried wings made from Carbon/Kevlar ??????????

Ahh,, very nearley the same shoping list as me,, Did notice the door bids !!!

After siting on the end of the rope, at max length out, whist Jim/Victor flapped about think I fancy investing in a new one !!!!, and maybe splicing the current into a extension piece !! If the forum are not in a position, to buy a discounted reel,s worth, I have not problem in doing it, and passing on the balance at cost, !! so long as enough members are interested

Thanks Guys, 100 ft of 11mm it is then, as what i have on there already, (but with a knot !!!) Do have 100ft of 9.5 bowrope, but feel a little on the thin side, that can go on the rear, when i get round to it !!

Thanks Andy-T,,, Much appreciated info, The line on my 8274 is, or was purple, so sounds like plasma12 ?? so will go for this again, so never had a problem, just need a bit more length !! What's the best option for the 8274 ?? 125 foot of 11mm ? what's everyone else got ??? Did i hear someone say a forum members Discount ??

Ahh, that's where he went, thought i had lost in in the afternoon in the quarry bog !!

Also noticed that one via John, thought i best not lower the tone of this site any futher !!

A handy thread, as I am also thinking of replacing the front line,, very happy with what I have, but no idea what it is !! (Maybe SteveG knows) think it could also be Plasma 12 ? by the look of it, it has been spliced in the past, but has never given me problems, Did buy some of the Dynemma bowrope from David Bowyer, for the old defender, but is not thick enough and only the same length that's already on the 8274, so been earmarked for the rear Huskey, when I get round to it !! Sorry Si,, again,, probably not a lot of help With out hi jacking Si thread, believe the best for the 8274 is 11mm x 125 ft ? am I correct, could be a group buy !!

Thanks Paul,, been searching and found the post & pictures, very intersting, Do not run tubes, and rarely have to top them up !, but will give them a good check over

Andy Have you seen Trev's (LR90) site ?? has a spring Calculator Trev's springs Hope you did not mind Trev,, i found it usefull re the Talban wagon

Mmm, I have a couple of set's of the later rolled rim type,, and so far, had no problems,, best I give them a good check over !! But would think twice about buying any new ones, if the attitude of the manufacturer is as quoted above !!

Near Glen Neath South Wales , just north of Swansea

Also like to add , re the pic of Chris above,, no , not a poor picture, it is steam raising from his head !! quite funny at the time

Just remembered this pic, Chris at 26 and 340 days !! Steaming Tea Up !!! Chris, delete if you think its decimating !!
