Nothing more niggling than knowing something is just not 'right', although I feel your skill set way outweighs mine to get away with no damage, whenever I do a 10 min quick job, I know it will always take hours/days longer, and involve many ££ to rectify.

Bit like an itch.......

The first rule of owning historic vehicles is that 'all 10 minute jobs will take half a day' Steve - and that rule scales up with the size of the job.

My concern with all my older vehicles is that I may end up with something that is worse afterwards (possibly via some collateral damage) - a bit like doctors of medicine: 'do no harm'.

None of the things I've considered in the above are difficult from an engineering perspective, the cost would be negligible and I have plenty of time. The only consideration is would the outcome be a worthwhile one when balanced with the risks?
