Wes, little bit of genius (plastic) well done,doing this 20 years and I couldn't think of anything, time for a break me thinks.ta mate

No problem pal that's what the forums for you can get long lengths from upvc suppliers like what window fitter use for trimming round new windows. It's cheap aswell.

 

[Just Rizzle]

have you tried a compas

 

[Wes]

That would have to go on the roof rack ray dont think it would fit in a pencil case.

Nail - pencil - bit of string!

 

[Wes]

Yea that's what I meant in my reply to Andrew just didn't explain very well.

What radius do you need?

I tend to look around for something the same size
a bucket, an offcut of pipe, a mug etc etc
