Re: Rubber seals (again)
Hi Steve, many thanks for this, I'm going to have a look at her this weekend and see if I can figure out where the gaffer tape should go, it sounds like we are indeed missing this! Thank you so much for the help...hopefully, she'll be a lot more water tight than she has been
Regards, Jan

Re: Help please!!
That's brilliant, thanks Matthew, that was what I was thinking of doing too!! I have also had a disaster with a water leak! It got into the floor of the van and where I had re'inforced the fibreglass with a ply walkway, I did not realise that the wood had been treated with a water soluble preservati...

Help please!!
Hi guys, I haven't been on here for a couple of years, had other projects in line...in the meantime 'Matilda' our beloved portafold, now requires an update. I had a notification through a couple of weeks ago with the details of some 'flock' type of wall covering, I don't suppose one of you lovely pe...

Re: Rubber seals (again)
I don't remember seeing any of these seals on mine at all. This could explain why when she's laid up, water is pouring in, can someone tell me if there is supposed to be some sort of seal between the two vertical sides (a frame end) as I always thought this was where the water was blowing in through...

Re: Towing with my trike
Ah, that's interesting, I'll pass that info onto my friend. In that case, surely you must be able to tow with it, if the DVLA can't make up their mind, then they can't descriminate surely?? The only fly I can see in the ointment is the new towing law, but presumeably you would have grandad rights as...

Re: Towing with my trike
Hi Fitz, I would say that you would have a very good argument for being legally able to tow the portafold with your trike. As you have said, your trike is a 'car' based trike and is legally MOT'd as such, therefore the only towing restrictions you should have, I would have thought, would be weight r...
