Re: Availability of White mercs in the uk

Re: Availability of White mercs in the uk

Has taken me a lot longer than anticipated to rebuild and paint (every single seal and nut and bolt has been cleaned, plated or replaced) . I'm going to have to save the cosmetic resto o...

Quick resto - merc fuel tank 57-63
Nick (Rapier) was kind enough to donate a merc fuel tank that was internally in great shape. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t210/dan_steele/2CEC9150-B5DD-4584-B129-F81F36910B37.png A dose of wire brush and paint stripper, + 2k primer http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t210/dan_steele/C5082D8D-92...

Re: Wanted - prop, gauges, and merc stainless trim
Unfortunately nothing in that lot, thanks for the link though.
I'm thinking if I become really stuck, having an 11 repitched to 13 might be the way forward.
And thanks for the free Rob, I may end up taking you up on the offer.
...once the engines are back together again!
