Hi guys -
Although I am only a Junior Technician Grade 3 in the hierarchy of things I am hoping for up-grading to Junior Technician Grade 2 following the submission of my MSc thesis to The Guild of Master Automotive Technicians on 'Stag Bumper Technology' (In my area we are lucky to have two members who have already attained the legendary status of Master Tecnician!)
My thesis follows several years of research and runs to 300 pages. The topics covered include;
(1) How to remove and refix the bumpers on your own and remain sane (2) How much you need to bribe one of the local lads to help you with the previous item (3) How to dismantle the bumpers in theory (4) What you really need to know to dismantle the bumpers in practise (5) Where to find new fixing bolts and nuts and save yourself a fortune by not going to the Stag specialists (6) How you deal with corroded fixing brackets (7) What you do when you find out that one of your bumper sections is too thin (too thin?.....yes, too thin) to be re-chromed (7) How best to reduce the inevitable corrosion that will follow once you start driving round in your Stag proudly displaying the renovated bumpers. This uses a technique I remember from my early car ownership days (before you guys were born) when all cars were supplied as a matter of course with very poor chrome bumbers. Ifone didn't take preventative action immediately the bumpers would rust after the first winter.
Copies of my thesis will be shortly available at £50 plus VAT plus postage and plus VAT on the postage (don't you think the VAT charge we are required to pay on the postage is one great con trick?) OK, you think the price is a bit on the high side, but for those of you like me who do not live just round the corner from a Stag specialist who only charges £15 per hour, will give you 10% discount because you're a nice fellow and will also agree to absorb the VAT the cost is well worth it. Remember, nothing, but nothing on a Stag is easy.
