Windscreen Gutter
The gutter beneath the windscreen was leaky. Again, this showed up after the oil leak was fixed and I saw a wet patch under the engine. Well, wet it was - water.
The problem does not show up well in the photos. After a couple of attempts this was the fix:
1) Throw away old rubber seal.
2) Clean as much rust as possible from the gutter, leaving several obvious holes.
3) Prime the metalwork with good quality primer (Rustoleum grey anti-rust primer)
4) Glue on some pieces of aluminium angle 15 x 15 x 1.5mm Using copious amounts of still all glue. One failed attempt had a lot of glue, but still not enough. 2 x 1m for £7.20 from EBay Metals shop
5) A couple of coats of rustoleum white
6) A new rubber from seals direct. 20mm bulb to fit panel 2.5mm to 5mm £21.35 incl. Vat and delivery
Old gutter de-rusted and primed. |
