I've tried the Power line route but it only works on the house ring main. I have installed a hard wired Ethernet cable into my garage Annex to power my CCTV PoE security system & an old PC in there.
Then you are almost there!

I havn't had a TV in many years and I don't miss it or the extortionate license fee! For free music I just love smoothradio.com , I access it from here: https://internetradiouk.com/

Actually Ted, that brings up a good idea - get a streaming device that has internet radio on it - I use Yamahas (no, not that type!) around the house (MusicCast using WiFi) but I'm sure there are many options
and providing you can get an internet signal then you have 1000'ds of stations to stream.....

No matter what I do, the personal messages I get and read always come up as unread and hence I get a message saying you have a new personal message.
Any clues on how to get over this?

There used to be a product called Fertan that was pretty good at rust conversion. I think you can still buy it. Also Jenolite in the past as well. Whatever rust converter you use, use a decent epoxy primer on top. I have recently used some new primer and it is really good - I can let you know what it is if you want. Your best bet is to find a local refinishing centre and ask them to recommend something. Products get better all the time.

I've recently restored a few Brembo calipers for one of my other bikes. I was recommended some corrosion resistant epoxy primer (to quote the guy "...stick like etc etc.." after which some decent satin black was applied. Seems to be working well at the moment. The caliper on the 400 i'm working on was cerakoted. The advantage is that the paint has longevity.....(I hope!)

I like the idea of using 3D printer filament. Keep us posted on the results...

Welcome Don. As said, a new look is a great way to sort electrical issues...

Paul, how gig a space will this heater heat? Any moisture issues?

Westfield fasteners will do most of what you want (there is another supplies but I can't think of them on a Monday morn!)
I'd replace the camchain as well.
As Bryn says, unlikely shells need changing. Check if the cylinder bore look OK and if there is a lip at the top.
