Evilchicken0 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 That sounds like a clever workaround Hold the camera a bit further away and it should focus a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul8899 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Have you tried buttons instead of runners ? If they are sticking then it might be down to the increased area of the runner, Ptfe is supposed to be petrol resistant as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspensionsmith Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have fixed a few of these.....very carefully score/scratch the tracks where they are worn and apply Devcon liquid metal two part epoxy...the scoring/scratching allows the Devcon to key into the metal body for a good bond. Once its cured I use smooth files or a piece of flat strip steel like keyway steel and wrap wet and dry sandpaper around the steel and this acts like a file.....slowly and carefully sand the Devcon down with lots of water until it is flush with the original level of the body...using finer grades of sandpaper allows a nice smooth finish...comes up like new and the Devcon is surprisingly durable and fuel reisitant.
