Equipment and tools used to repair the ramp.
2 pieces of 4mm lexen, same dimensions as the original metal protectors.
2 new metal protectors cut by my friend John who is a member here and also has a 25th.. ( Thanks John
)
2 new ramp flaps also cut by John...
and a brush on gel type clear drying super glue made by Selleys...Apparently it is like epoxy and bonds any material and dries clear!
What i did was glue the two 4 mm pieces of lexen on the outer walls of the ramp on both sides. This was to reinforce the thin crap plastic DE used from the factory and also to add a bit of meat to the newly repaired ramp....
Once cured i glued the metal protectors on the inside walls of the ramp in their factory position.
This was to reinforce the inside walls and stiffen up the entrance to allow it to handle more abuse. These metal ramp protectors are of the exact dimensions of the original ones, its just that mine never had any as you can see in the first pics..
Once it was all cured and reinforced my friend at RTBB pop riveted the flaps on. (Thanks Greg!
)
