It's a similar sized cylinder to the smaller of the Argoshield ones, maybe a bit smaller. I got it from Kay Welding Supplies in St Helens, not sure if it's a franchise, but others I know have had similar deals in other areas and different suppliers.[frame]Image[/frame]

The picture makes it look a bit stubbier than it actually is. The only drawback (if you can call it that) is that you have to return it within the four year cylinder test period other wise you have to pay the full price again.

Hi been a while. Melvyn the morris is current being sorted at a local firm. Will post pictures soon. The panels welded were good panels on-top of rusty ones, hence started falling apart. Also general poor welding (very well hidden). The guy working on it couldn't believe the mess they made; he reckoned the way they had hidden their work must have taken as long as if they had done the job properly.
Anyone want to guess who the original garage were?
Anyway will post pictures soon.

Hi, this is just some of the poor welding removed by local firm. The previous firm (anyone want to guess who?) welded over rusting metal... Why?? As previously stated the chap repairing Mervyn the morris (not melvyn as previous stated - bleeding auto-correct) said it must have taken them as long to botch it up as to repair it properly!
Anyway, the firm doing the work have now cut all the rubbish out, and repaired with new panels. Made a cracking job of it, spot on welding, will attach some pics soon
