I agree with @kerophile, and it depends on your skills and you comfort as to what choice you make. The Base Camp are providing you with sound advice. I have the confidence that my skills, the care I take, and the testing that I do, means that my refurbishment will produce a safe SRV if used in the proper manner. Cheers Tony
I’ve mixed up my sages, haven’t I? I meant @snwcmpr above; not @kerophile... But both are very wise. Cheers Tony
Hi @Tony Press ,I was keeping my head down! I posted this 10 years ago and as you imagine it attracted a number of replies and differing opinions: Stove Handy Hints At the end of the day it should be a matter of competence and confidence, and access to some tools. Things have moved on since I expressed my opinion. Knowledge, tools and instructional videos have all become available, but competence is more difficult to assess. Best Regards, Kerophile.
I am sure whatever information I have, George shared it so generously before. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
