Rs.... I'd not shave the door because that may well leave a gap big enough for slugs to find their way in... I've finally got round to replacing the bottom sill/threshold piece to prevent exactly that. Removing the tiles has got to be the way and you could then have the door mat recessed into the floor rather than on top and sliding all over the place.

I did think of riveting it, using a hand rivet gun, but I doubt I either have a drill that's sharp enough or the skill to use it accurately on a shiny curved surface. Latest news indicates the handle does appear to have held but the real test will come tonight when drained a, no doubt, large portion of spuds. This is the reason why I always try to buy kitchen pans etc that have riveted handles.
Oh rs... the experiment failed... looks like riveting after all (unlike this particular subject matter ho hum)...
..could you live with the two Molegrips attaching the handle? just a thought. seriously, i "treated" myself (tight git) to some cheapy "Cobalt" drills recently as most of mine need sharpening or are lost. It was throwaway money so no great loss but was pleasantly surprised and went through stainless sheet like butter. Ok - maybe they won't do this after a dozen uses but looks promising so far.
Ha-ha-ha I like your thinking I've bought those cobalt drills only once & that was for drilling the oil holes in a replacement small end bearing & they did the job. This time I went to Halfords & bought a cheapo set of bits so they should be sharp enough to begin with. I always forget & have the drill at too high a speed and end up with a highly polished dimple. And as an added bonus The Cult & She sells Sanctuary was playing on the in store music.
It was the original spot welds that failed so I'm gearing up for a bit of riveting And yes it has crossed my mind that I might be taking this a little too seriously... hey ho...
Today was the last day of the V Raptor's MOT so took him out for a rather jolly biff in appropriately glorious weather before taking him off the road for a well earned refurb.
These guys parked up near my house so I went for a chat. Turns out the one with the trailer had a puncture but they didn’t have the 19mm socket needed to replace the wheel. I obliged and a few minutes later they were on their way. They are a friendly bunch.
