does any one have templates of the frame so that he can replicate them and replace my rotten ash.
Does anyone know if SLJ or the Bristol Club have any templates ?
Please let me know !
Thanks all

Hi Hesketh,
Having just acquired 405 C/N0: 4012 Regn: PCD 405 I also need to repair / replace all the woodwork.
Did you manage to find any template or suchlike for your woodworker to refer to?
I'm just starting to remove the old paintwork to bring back to bare aluminium. I plan to use combination of hot air gun / blow torch / paint stripper. Initial trials with the blow torch and stripper are promising, though I'm very scared of causing any damage to the aluminium through excessive heat.
I plan to get removable panels, such as doors, soda blasted.
Any comments / advice on these methods much appreciated!
Regards,
Chris.
