Obviously the plug and seal need attention but without stating the obvious, before I attend to this “small” job any caution advise from you many experts out there much appreciated.

Many thanks Mike, I can get new cross Ply 17 ex importer from Tauranga NZ, BUT your last comment re tram lining is what I’m trying to avoid.

The book is a comprehensive guide covering all models 1934 to ...

I replaced with a 3 amp fuse I had but I feel it should be higher. Workshop manual refers to 25 amp rating. Is this correct...
