Well this pales in comparison to NFN's dilemma but woke up this morning with a raging head cold - so bad I'm not going to the airshow to meet up with Toughombre and B-17engineer. Been planning this for almost a year and now its been kiboshed!

Don't get me wrong, as this is just an observation from watching a few things on Youtube. Now I love fantasy, but The Red Wedding. WTF? And I watched the blond chick trade the baby dragon for the army scene (pretty cool). But the rest of it comes across as more soap opera then cool fantasy. Am I missing something? I'm trying to like it and end up disappointed. Am I missing a real cool story line perhaps?

Howabout a sleeve over the corroded area and weld a new hanger to the sleeve?
Pity you don't live nearer as I have a garage full of bits and pieces
 
Hope you can get that sorted Karl. John's idea sounds good, and it's what I used to do with my rally cars and Land Rover. Find a small garage who can do it, and it should only cost the price of materials and a couple of hours labour at most - probably around £100 maximum.
My annoyance today?
I ordered a spare battery for my Nikon two weeks ago, from a UK outlet, so as to have it in time for the air show just gone. It was advertised at a great price, as a Nikon battery, not as a 'replacement' battery, and with a photo of Nikon battery.
It arrived today, from Hong Kong!
And it's not a Nikon battery, but a non-original replacement, which I could have bought in the first place anywhere in the UK, and had within two days!!
So I now have a battery I don't want to use, in case it mucks up the camera, and now have to go and buy another, genuine battery at full price!
Amazon will be informed of this malpractice, that's for sure!
 
Matt, I dunno but I have no idea what the show is. I haven't had cable in 15 years so I'm thoroughly indoctrinated on local programming.

and I'm still friggin' sick!!!!!

Tried and tested on my hillclimb Escort and autocross Fiat.
Flexi tube is another marvellous repair thing.

Batteries? Don't get me started on Hong Kong traders posing as UK based sellers Terry. I have been turned over twice with 'genuine' mobile phone batteries....

the hangers are attached straight to the sliencer box and are to far gone to weld back on though on further inspection i found the former owner or the dealer i bought it from made a new hanger for the other side out of thread bar and welded it onto the silencer box and did a pretty crap job of it as well !

have fixed it for now myself it just needs to last until july pay day and i'll be ok !
