This isn't a bodge, it's a crime against engineering!
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

CFM Engineering in Reading. I only took it there to get the carbs set up on their rolling road... It was the first type 4 engine they'd done (should have run a mile after hearing that), but they do look after a fleet of bay windows for a local company so thought they'd be competent enough. I doubt they had any idea of how poor the quality of the followers were to be fair.
