Coolant filling
Hi. About to reconnect my fug stirrer after refurbing to the tap and copper tube (currently just have a short hose loop).

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.

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?
