Yes - it's plastic metal - and NO - I definitely don't fancy it for that job. It has it's uses - but not for that. It can't 'chemically react into metal' !!!!! Only acid can do that - as it eats further into the metal.

Whatever... So what you are saying, is a program with Mark Evans using the stuff to repair the exact same problem on an MGB rear axle, was wrong? Pretty sure these program producers cover their collective rear ends, by ensuring any product used is fit for the purpose, otherwise they could get same rear ends in court with a large compensation claim.

Oh we've all see Mr Evans in action - spending thousands and thousands. But it doesn't make it right! He's a VET - not an engineer. Not my idea of a good engineering solution to that problem. As I have said - plastic metal has it's uses - I just don't think attaching the rear springs is one of them !

Not mine either! Wherever or whoever the idea came from!
