Shame as I got a snap shot of the fat grey haired old chuff driving it…what an opportunity missed…☹️😆
Gotta stay off so much whiskey on a Friday night….possibly…😬🥃
Old carb from one of those Renault vans that folk turn into coffee vans, soda then vapour blasted, i still get the same kick from before to after that I did when I started doing this job 4yrs ago. 😃
Looks like the seals have shrunk slightly, you could try warming both sides over a wide area with a hairdryer then see if they will pull back together, they’d need to be pretty warm and you’d need to hold them in place until they cool but worth a try.
