    Stephen the leg itself looks like the metal has been torn from your photo?? How does ordering a new part fix that

    Excellent point. If they are knackered then no point throwing the good covers or feet for that matter away

    Sorry Derek I didn’t mean to be sharp. I just read my post back. 🙏 What I was pointing out is this stuff that melts at 250°c is probably quite handy to plug a hole or stick a mug back together but because it doesn’t melt the parent material (in this case aluminum at 600°c) it doesn’t fuse...

    Fantastic Al appreciate that. I’m in Newcastle and Liverpool this week on afew jobs but I’ll definitely come over your way next week and have it. 👍🏻

    Absolutely not mate. A hole in a frying pan is fine but for a structural joint in ALMG that needs a fusion weld with a matching composition consumable like 5356

    Looks like the frame has broken where plastic surrounding bit would have been in the picture. Probably not fixable without a good fabricator on the job

    Rod line rating question

    He uses a powermesh 15ft float rod. I’ve never actually come across one before but given the size of the lumps he tames on it, I’d imagine it’s quite a rare find for good reason

    Korum did one not too long ago. “Aeronium” recliner. Had long front legs too so it was more useful than most for inclines...

    Rod line rating question

    This rod is grossly underrated. It’s a very specialized piece of kit imo and a true barbel bashing float rod no question about it. I’d have no concerns whatsoever with ringing any of the models up with 10lb line. I don’t own one but I’ve used one and caught chub on it which isn’t a...

    Harrison Torrix custom vs factory made

    It’s a common trend that barbel rods need at least 8 guides plus tip. I don’t know why and to be honest I think it’s very dictated by fashion. Guides are there to guide your line through the rod . You need enough of them to allow for a smooth transition of line from guide to guide and no...

    Harrison Torrix custom vs factory made

    I’ve never been asked those questions Bob. It must just be yourself that offers such options
