Enamel is not a precise chemical formulation or product, it's just a generic name for shiny one-part paint that dries hard. Best to follow manufacturer's recommendations unless you're prepared to experiment with variable results.
As has been explained, though it's a bit retro now. From the perimeter frame of sprung frame beds dating from early 20th century. Approx 2"x 2" x 3/16". High grade steel, can be a bit of a ****** to drill, but has a bit of spring to it. Now mostly found lurking in the junk in yards and garages...
Two bits of steel angle back to back look the way to go. Double thickness 'leg' over the roof rack and up and down tabs for the awning. With the hole spacing probably 50mm/2" would do. Bed angle or fence post offcuts plenty strong enough.
Tbh, beyond getting a shoe-mender, Timpsons probably, to use a commercial glue, any DIY glue fix will be short term. I'd be inclined to re-inforce with stitching. Awl and wax thread through the rubber and leather will work. Fixed my skates (plastic sole on leather boot) with Fix-all High Tack...
It's a low-fair price if it's done right, or at least made no worse. And it's not a huge amount to lose if it all goes wrong. If you've got some connection with the people involved, at least it's some comeback.
One of the key joys of UK cars and motorcycles, was also their achillies heel (though the same can be said of other old-world countries too).... That of very slow model development... Many bodyshells, model designations, engines and many accessories remained virtually unchanged for decades...
Think I'd more likely chose a plastic rubbing strip intended for maritime /trailer/caravan use like https://trailermarineonline.co.uk/webshop/boat-edge-trims-rubbing-strakes/plastic-convex-rubbing-strip-1-1-2-25mm/
Smaller houses with typical 2 storey ground-floor plus first-floor are, in English building regs terms 'one fire zone'. Hence open stairwells and lack of firedoors. Taller buildings have tighter requirements - hence the extra work involving fire barriers included with loft conversions.

I've had a Halfords one for a couple of years. Described as 'up to two litres', cost about £60 at the time. Has been brilliant on small petrol engines, and got me and others out of trouble. Can't comment on Lidl or diesel, but the principle is good.
Hmm. Got a couple of those (dad was GPO). Only ever used them myself (general electrical install) for holding and tensioning catenary cables while making off ends. Unlike yours, mine has a hard rubber ball cast around that link - assumed it was a handgrip.
Don't know about 'do it for career opportunities', but do it for an amazing experience yes!
Ex electronics tech, ex electrician, graduated in July with a BA in fine art (at 61 years of age). Just started my MA. Managed to get some student loan for the BA, but self funding the MA with the help of...
For me, on my own site, with old core drills and other gear I've got about, I'd give it a try. You're looking at less than half a metre, so you're less likely to encounter a random stone/muck core. But if you're gearing up just for this one job, and have no future use for the kit, then £250...
Taking a step back. What's made you thing the sarking felt needs replacing? As for inspection, most Marley tile just rests there, with no nails, except on vulnerable edges so just slide a couple up and have a look. Maybe just the exposed bottom edge drip into the gutter has started to fail, but...
Thanks for the info. It looks an amazing machine. The propeller(s) look strange. Initially I'd thought counter-rotating - but both sets of blades seem pitched the same.
