bombsquad Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole, but that's just my experience. I'd put my mortgage on it one of the bores will have had atmospheric dampness in it during that time, unless you can garuntee all the valves were closed. You'd be shocked how much condensation will have been in there in damp conditions. High chance of corrosion in the bore buddy. . Edited June 28, 2013 by bombsquad Link to comment
