Get some isopon aluminium mesh from Halfords for £1.50.

Tape the fairing together at the front, cut the mesh to shape of the rear of the fairing so it covers both sides of a crack, take a hot soldering iron and press it on the mesh so it heats up and sinks into the plastic fairing. This will hold the fairing solid.

Remove the tape at the front and, if you can be assed you can plastic weld the cracks out but the mesh at the rear should hold it all together.

For bits actually missing you could find a similar colour plastic, cut roughly the same shape and just melt it in.

I've used this meathod a few times for cracked fairings cause its cheap as chips.

^ really like that idea. Sounds pish easy, cheap and strong. Nath, you could at least do the mesh bit easy and just forget the plastic weld.

Re: Refurbishing the Ace.
 

oh just gently heat the mesh on the hob and float it in

Re: Refurbishing the Ace.
 

I reckon you could do it pretty easily, if you're coming down at any point I'm sure sme of us would be happy to lend our advice while you do it.

The advice might not be worth much but I always find these things easier with moral support.

+1. I was getting ****ed off in my garage yesterday with all the mess and lack of organisation. I decided what I need is someone else to help me make tough decisions like ripping **** out, otherwise I stand there dithering then go in and have a cup of tea.

Hot mesh, a naked flame, soldering irons, delicate fairing work, rampant dog bouncing about and pig obsessed hotty looking on disapprovingly. I see an instructional video right there....... Brian .. Phone....

Re: Refurbishing the Ace.
 

I gutted and tidied my garage end of October.... I had to do it again yesterday. **** everywhere.

Re: Refurbishing the Ace.
 

It's getting rid of the ****. I have a fridge freezer in there that needs to go, a crate/box full of crap like pine cones the previous retarded owners used to burn in the fire (hence why it's a sot filled fire hazard now) and then admittedly some of my crap like an old foosball table I never use, a petrol lawnmower etc etc. Stuff that isn't easy to shift.

That's why we blitzed your garden so quickly. When your on your own its too easy to take breaks and dither.

That's a plan!:smt023
