Dammit, I was under the thing on Monday with it up on the four poster (ramp - before any muppet thinks I sleep with it ), and I tapped it a few times (more reliable than the fuel gauge ).

Errr, can't remember what it was, think its plastic - too much undersealer to be definite.

Sorry to upset you all but it's steel. Either that or we've just come up with a process to weld steel to plastic.........

Quick ! Patent it !

And while you're at it maybe you could develop a process to weld stainless steel to aluminium, you'd make a killing !!

You are quite correct Steve - Glues are fine and dandy these days - only the 'Old, has been boys' think of Welding EVERYTHING!!

How the hell do you think things like plastics and metal and glass and steel and stuff are held together in a Nuclear Missile?? WELDED?? no its GLUED together!!! Mostly!!
