Bowie69 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 That's looks cracking! A piece of thin piece of rubber would probably be enough protection , I'm sure you could liberate some from somewhere if you don't already have some kicking around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 It's all a bit haphazard today, too bloody cold so just doing bits and pieces but still adds up to completion at some point Expansion tank First easy bracket drill and tap Sorted regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 About the Tesa tape, note it is deceptively visible when you are applying it but if you need to remove it, after a few days the end seems to have disappeared. Out comes the knife to try to find it and the whole tape wrap then seems to take control and you have a fight. Best advice is to get the cables and positions correct first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
