Coolant filling

Eventually got a dynamo functioning but decided to put a later regulator in (original one had screw terminals) All wired up correctly and working. Went inside for a well deserved cuppa. Came out and ...

Sealing access panels

I have just removed the access panel that covers gearbox/chassis legs. It is sealed using a grey putty like substance (presumably supplied on a roll). To me it looks like a product called Arboseal. Have any other members used anything similar?
