resistance
Not being a lecky, how could I improve this? Would strategically placed magnets on an overlap between the gates help? Just thinking of the coating being high resistance. Or maybe a large rottweiler but they'd probably nick that as well!!
With regards security, neighbour behind me (I'm on a corner) just had his gates nicked and looks like they used a battery op recip on the hinges, is there any way of hardening the hinge sections as I am in the process of making a set for my back driveway(which is right next to his gateless...

Stripped and blasted
You will breeze it especially if you ask lots of questions!! Wish mine was blasted and clean (wire brush and grinder!!). As peeps before plan it out one step at a time and once again if in doubt two secs to post a question, I have no doubt that someone on here will have...
teacher
Think I watched that as well (teaching a girl?)
Can be a little daunting at the start as with anything new. I am lucky as my first project means that I have at least one other giving a helping hand, and I'm in a workshop with other peeps close by. But I think after a while I would be...
Classic
You will have no problems, I did a 3l Capri in stainless (didn't have a bender so cut and shut it) and its still going strong after 7 years. long as you use correct mats/technique youll be ok!:waving:
Missing spacers
Guess so, I made one from one of those round plastic cases you get 20 blank cd's in, just cut two holes and a hole for the drive lug. It will do until I can get some of the proper spacers (they should have come with the machine if it was unmodified) but not what I expected from...
Mild steel flats
Make sure you ask for above, that way you get out of cutting charges, someone local to Leicester must do mild steel flat rather than sheet/plate.
Try steel express
Steel express have supplied me with 12mm x 200 flat bar before worth giving them a ring (01902 716333 wolverhampton) at least it will give you a comparison to go by?
Metals4U
Exactly, my point being that if its that cheap on metals4u (Which you should not buy from unless needed quick or one off) then you should be able to buy it much cheaper from a local steel supplier?
Spool
If there has been a change it must have been after mine was built?? Haven't found anyone with a different spool set up so far! and no sign of any adaptors.
