Hi all,BigGrin
Just received parts 6-10 and was about to set up my jig for the keel and realised that the bow section of the centre keel is not only out of flat but also twisted laterally.
I have tried once to flatten the problem but it seems to have gone back to it`s old shape.This being the case is there anything else I can try or do I need to get a back issue,or can I get a replacement part?
My previous attempt to straighten the piece was done by soaking the part and then clamping between several bits of 3"x3" wood blocks, this was then clamped using large metal sash cramps and left for two days but to no avail.

Any Ideas,

Regards

Might be best to just call or mail costumer service.
They will probably send you a replacement part.

BigGrin Hi Delboy
Faulty of broken parts are usually replaced free of charge the best way to do this is to ring up between 9 am-5pm during the week. Make sure you have your details with you aswell. Hope this helps
