Better to ask the question than end up with an unsafe safety device! As Grendel said, I too have seen fender eyes ripped off in minor brushes. Not to say yours aren't bolted through, but it's highly unlikely.

No. You need something bolted right through the fibreglass, with a backing pad. That's what I'd do, if I were me.

My friend Rene's mum kept chickens in her garden back in the 50's, but couldn't kill one when the time came. So she carried it down to the local butchers at the bottom of the road, who would do the necessary, and then walk back with the deceased and pluck and prepare it for the pot. Was different in those days, I can't see the local Morrisons butcher welcoming a woman with a live chicken under her arm, asking him to despatch it!

I still use a Kleeneze broom in Rene's garden that she bought shortly after moving to Leigh-on-Sea in 1955. And it's not one of Triggers originals - only had three new handles and five new heads! This is original. Made things properly in those days. Oops, thread wander, sorry Griff!

I presume you have unlimited funds available? . Hearing of other woodie restorations on here, you're going to need them. Welcome, and pics along the way would be most welcome. There's a wealth of knowledge here, and some wonderfully helpful people willing to share.

Because they wouldn't listen, probably.

There's a certain weather presenter on BBC Look East who always pronounces "strong" as "shtrong". Drives me bonkers.

The liberal use of the f word is another measure of our declining use of vocabulary. To be fair, it's nothing new. Dave and I asked his pal what was wrong with his car, and got, "F***, the f***ing f***er won't f***ing start, f*** it, for f***ing f***s sake". He'd managed to get 7 swear words in one sentence!

So, it is what it is, know what I mean, and lately everythink is incredible. Do you know what, I should of got over myself by now, worrying about grammar, but my bugbear is apostrophe misuse. So, whatever, chillax, dudes. Or is it guys?

It was my job when I was little staying with my great aunt and uncle to collect the eggs every morning. They didn't live on a farm, but a street in East Ham, London. I would say every other house in the street kept chickens, and some had ducks! Couldn't get fresher than that.

Why do all your liquid measurements relate to alcohol? 🤔😄

When you took your bike-related tumble, did you bang your head? Can't imagine what else could explain these weird thoughts you're experiencing. Be careful out there. No, not you MM, everyone else whilst you're pedalling about.

I can spell properly - P-R-O-P-E-R-L-Y. AND I'M NOT ANGRY!!

At least you can eat the pigeons. It could be worse - you might get a set of semaphore flags.

It's a flux capacitor from someone's DeLorean.
