Your fingers always seem to do their magic on anything that you set your mind on restoring or repairing. This is just another excellent example. Thanks again for sharing it with us all. :thumbup:

Best of luck with the your heart procedure. Don't be too naughty with the pretty nurses. I expect you will be back in the shop better than ever in short order. :D :) :D

Cheers :beer:
