Rib repair - West Sussex

Hello all

My new (to me) V520 has a small leak in one of the tubes, that has been there since purchase. The dealer I got it from has agreed to pay. Can anyone recommend anywhere near Bognor/Chichester to get it repaired. I've found JCraft - has anyone used them?

Thanks in advance Oli

I've used JCraft a lot, and met a few very happy customers of his, his work is excellent and a quite few dealers send their repairs to him

.... and very local to you.

Thanks all. I had already spoken to Jamie just wanted to make sure he would do a good job. I'll bell him tomorrow.

And I'll speak to Ribshop as well - anyone used them?

10/10 for Kieron at Ribshop. Great repair, that can't be seen, a good price and a quick turn around. Really impressed. I learnt a lot about ribs that I didn't already know as well.

And if anyone is after Xd100 engine oil for an Evinrude, he does it for £50 and can deliver.

Thanks Kieron at Ribshop
