    Its got to be worth a shot cutting a circle of material from your old cards to glue into the winder hole...

    That might end badly, with frayed edges, but try it. It might go well.

I'm no carpenter but I didnt think cutting some board beyond my skills. Like I say, I ended up tearing up the cards I was replacing & using them as the basis for my homemades instead.

    Hope that makes sense? Glad to see you are keeping her mate!

    Understand what you mean about the holes. Hardboard is a funny material to work with. I have some punches I can use. Anything will be better than the rotten spilt crap I currently have!

    So, i have been to Castle combe twice so far this year. Spanked it round for the action day in April then spectated for a wet retro and classic day. Then went to Billing. And thats about it!! Has not seen tarmac much this year to be honest. Time just has not allowed me to take it out!!

    I did however manage a rare random drive out a week or so ago.





    Its an old filling station about and hour away from me. I'm naff at taking pics, but makes for a good location.

    I'm booked in for Retro Rides again this year. awesome show IMO. Went last year. Might venture up the hill this year.

    again, i have been making a list of winter jobs to do, but we have just sold our house and are in the process of buying a renovation project. So that will 100% take priority!! Its got a garage though...
