but had no idea how to even start. Neither do I :P Was looking at the DJB whistle for edrig - looks nice, but not sure what to do about the fake whistle already fitted to Ragleth. It's easy enough to remove the brass part, but the bracket would be unsightly and I'm not sure how i would remove it or...

the gas regulator was from Acme Engineering. The plastic one is easy to remove but the replacement requires the flat part of the shaft to be extended right to the top (previously there was just a flat part where the little grub screw sat) as the moulding of the replacement has a cut-out that has to ...

Protecting my lining?
Hi guys, After several failed attempts at using enamel paints and a 'proper' lining pen I've just finished lining my Ragleth using a Eddings paint pen. I'm really pleased with the results - however, I'm not sure how resilient the lines will be to general ware, oil, being wiped with an oily rag etc.....
