I think that unless the metal is overheated/blue when grinding to shape that HSS as is will be ok

Good luck and fingers crossed the new pcb is the fix

I expect the difference is it that you have a 4 handles on the adjusting wheels instead of his 3?

Have now

Thanks Tom I'm going down the route of a couple of coats of the mix then one of plain and put it away till next spring when I expect a quick wipe over will see it complete/done

Thanks folks - so its BLO with some white spirit and a few coats :)

I've been given a wooden handled standard size garden fork - a wire brush and wipe over with oil will do for the tines but without making a mountain of a job - for the handle which is very dry - should I just go with linseed oil and put it in the shed let it soak in and forget it until next year?

Ah so not the tap washer, if it has an isolating valve for both hot and cold supply then turn one off and see if the taps still drips overnight - if it does try the other one overnight this should help decide which is letting water by and then as Lons suggests go buy a new entire valve

If you can get the worktop off and its reusable Then access to the under units and visual will show what can andcant be removed and new slotted in... perhaps from above

Don't worry you can still order bespoke and similar items!

Have you spoken to Record Power.. they may have a fix/encountered this before

Thorougly degrease and loctite should do it or as Phill05 suggests or after cleaning use a nail punch on the top/side of the threaded portion (to the nut) to lock the nut onto the thread
