well i finally got my stuffing tube today and its bent to shape and test fitted,ive made a bracket for it out of ply with studs epoxied into it i will put a piece of ali bent to shape over the top of the tube to hold it in place.seems like it will work well,i will also install a small length of larger tube at the transome for this one to fit in so i can remove it easy when needed.the small length of larger tube will be glassed into the hull.once i get my new ferrule i will cut the flex to length and fix the flex into the ferrule using loctite retaining compound no 603.yup no solder just like the europeans do it!! ![Cheecky ;D](https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/Smileys/Tug/azn.gif)
One of them Europeans like you, and me, you mean?
Yep, we have funny old ways eh?
I would still silver solder it - and an angle grinder with a nice thin (Steel cutting) blade went through my flexi cable nicely.
He he,
Glenn. Feeling not very European just now........
