Two days ago my exploirer was proped up in my hall way and fell over and broke my standard coil as I found s**t loads with this I am proper gutted as any one got any ideas how to fix it or even go a standard coil I can buy off them for cheap ish thanks gav

Have fixed an old coil in the past with some stuff from a model shop, go down and ask for "milliput" it's amazing stuff, you can drill it, tap it and mould it into the shape of the broken bit so you can make a copy of the broken bit and it will attach to the old coil, or use it to re-inforce the old bit when sticking it on. It cures grey/yellow, so you will need to spray it or there is a black equivalent out there as well if you can find it.

It's 2 part epoxy putty basically.

Good luck, and if you cant get any let me know as I can get some for you.

I agree Geoff, amazing stuff, really cheap as well  None of our local shops stock the black stuff though  would have thought it would have been the more popular colour myself...

[Da Monkey]

Milliput as everybody has said is good stuff, also can be used to restore antique
china etc

Don't forget to let me know if it all fails and you scrap the coil Gav, I'm looking for some scrappers to play with...

I had this message off a friend so instead me chucking my toys and hit with hammer I am going to send it off ( I have no patients) but this was message,,,,,,,If you let me have it I can cut a pvc side piece then solvent glue it all together, pvc is grey but would be the strongest way. Glue is available from diy stores type used on plastic pluming but does need the side piece to get the strongest bond.  Check other side has not cracked as well. Bit far to pop it down to Newport to get it done?

[shunggav]

And as I found out its always good to have a spare pm me with a price please al

well worth trying   Hope it works out as its a shame to scrap 'em if electrically OK...
