Restoration of a Fenn and Wood Meteor 2
Posted: Tue Apr 02, 2013 6:31 pm
Dear All
I am new to the site and am looking to start on the renovation of my very sad looking Fenn and woods Meteor Mk2, unfortunately it has been left in sheds and trailer-ed from house to house left in fields and generally abused over the past twenty years.
This year it is going to be its year of glory when it will rise from the ashes to be reborn and I can get it back to its original state all bright shinny and new looking, well over the next few years anyway. I would appreciate any advice or information anyone might have regarding this boat as I went down to the boat museum (Enfield) about ten or so years ago and they had one there and were very helpful but they only had very limited information. I have now found a heat ex changer for it although it is not the original unit but it would do at a pinch. the main issue was the windscreen as the guy who owned it before me broke the screen and chucked the frame away. I would be really pleased to hear from someone who has one for sale. I am not sure this information is correct I was told that the original windscreen was the rear windscreen from a Vauxhall Veloc which are probably a harder thing to fined than the Meteor one.
Any way thanks to any one who is reading this an taking an interest and hopefully some one can help me out.
Best regards
Jon Pearce
