| Sorry to hear you had problems Walter  We all know you're not ham-fisted, things like this happen all the time to the best of us. You've done some fantastic Joe repair work in the past. I know that vintage plastic dries out over time and becomes a bit brittle, but this is newer plastic? Some of the newer plastics can also be a bit brittle to work with. If I had to do a repair job like this, I would use a hair dryer to make the plastic a bit more softer to work with, it should help minimise breakages. I've got some special SCX slot car oil that was formulated to be plastic/nylon friendly, It might have it's uses in Joe restoration work - ( vehicles )  Good luck with your bidding  _________________ clivvers - saviour of the huMAM race @ MAMageddon 2009 - 2099 @ clivvers MAM Nation:

The first time that I had a problem,I spoke to the seller and told them what happened...I was told that I should have widened the mounting holes.....Well my understanding was that the copies were made from a vintage windshield an base .Today I am bidding on a vintage set and am hoping to put this nightmare behind.....Bummed out in the States.....Walt
