viking Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 bought these of ebay as mine were missing the black vent handles, and couldn't find any anywhere, they were £20 off ebay but have been stripped and painted so saves me a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Where did you get those chrome surrounds for the clocks please? And we thought you have done nothing all week due to RSI from watching Liz on the Black List. Edited May 22, 2016 by Fuji Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Got a phone call from the galvanising place this morning after I sent 2 more emails one to where I had it done and one to head office. He said that he still can't locate my vent mesh. I asked if there was a policy for these things he said no cos I'd paid cash. But if ever I needed anymore doing he would sort me out. He then asked if they were made of aluminium. I said I had no idea. The only thing he could think of was that they were and that when they were dipped thaey had melted. ******* cheers. He said that it should of been spotted if they were made of aluminium but as there were a couple of new lads working there they can't if been. Upshot is I'll have to buy some more.
