Hi,

4 holes, both lower corners and up either side....judging from MM comments it needs to be chopped out and rebuilt...way out of my capabilities.
Need to source a local chap to do this down here in Cornwall....

Thanks, Richard

Volks Weld over in Pool have a pretty decent reputation from what I hear, seem to be fairly busy though.
