This is understood. Thank you, their stock is on Guntrader. Thank you, the pretty Wilkes 28g was in for restocking and not for sale, sadly. GBS

I have been tasked with finding a smart .410 or 28g (or possibly both) by a friend. At this time they do not want an Aya, Ugartechea, Yildiz or a belgian hammergun and their preference is for it/them to be British made. I am aware of what is available on Guntrader etc. Does anyone have anything that might fit the bill that they are considering parting with? Thanks, GBS

That's very kind, thank you. I have bought three replacement handles for my two maul heads so this should satisfy my inner Neanderthal for some time! GBS

Thank you for the responses, I think i've found suitable replacement that should be there, or thereabouts size wise. GBS

I've broken the handle on my log splitting maul and need to find a replacement. I also have a spare maul head that I inherited some time ago. The sockets are approximately 46mm x 30mm and 46mm x 34mm. Am I going to have to buy something like this Faithfull FAIAM42 Ash Maul Handle 1066 x 54 x 40mm | Toolden and shave it down to size (and shorten the shaft) or is there an easier way? Lastly, I always thought hickory was the way to go but there seem to be ash and beech shafts available. Any to steer clear of? Thanks, GBS

I think Phil Taylor at Bozard and Co had a very tidy CG 20 (Essex i think) a few days ago. GBS

SOLD

Thanks Agriv8, This is for a 2009 (current shape) Toyota Landcruiser. The option of a Toyota wiring loom is an additional £100 on top of £400 or so. GBS

Thank you for this. Please can you elaborate why ScotchLocks are such a bad idea? I'm sure I could DIY it but it would be another thing to add to a very long list. I think this may be one of those things that its will be quicker and easier to pay for - happy wife, happy life! GBS

Thank you for all responses, i have quotes of £430 - £880 so far. This is reassuring as they are the lower quote. GBS

Thank you for the replies. I should have clarified, I am looking at companies online who offer to come and do a mobile fitting at your house. I'm slightly surprised at the cost but i think i had underestimated the work involved. GBS

I need to get a tow bar fitted. Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, of any of the firms that offer this service? GBS

After Windswept's suggestion above, i googled Iron Pyrite Nodule and found this article which is quite interesting, if a little dry, and has a photo of something very similar. The Many Faces of Fool's Gold | American Scientist GBS

Thank you for the suggestion. I don't think it is a sea urchin fossil - photo for comparison. GBS

Thank you, i think that's spot on. I don't specifically recall but I imagine it was chalky being in the Wiltshire downs. This was also in the same field. GBS
