Thank you guys
Im totally blown away by the knowledge and information you have between you, and are willing to share.
I was unable to upload pictures of the affected items on my GP14. The file size was to big…( sorry not very techie)
My tiller has in fact cranked and broken in two pieces. So I may well see if I can get away with a straight version, if it is not cranked for a reason., as lack of time may now be an issue.
I will have a go at laminating when time permits.
I will investigate the mast step tomorrow, to try and establish as to why it is moving about.
Thanks once again.
Mick
