Yep , been over here for nearly 15 years now .
Only found out you were here last year whilst the issue with the numpty was going on .
£50 is a bit strong but you may get one secondhand .
All that time on your hands , you could do a spot of research 🤣

Here's an image of a Mercury tube with the forks removed, shows how crudely these things are made under the blued finish

And here's one of a Milbro that fell apart in its own:

Nice to see you earlier Alakar! Its a small world.
Evert I did not even know that the Mercury broke down like that!? I have one at home waiting for its new spring and seals but I am a bit reluctant to start it.

They dont unless you heat the tube and unscrew the forks. Mine was a horrible mess I've been struggling with for years. Its a 6,35 magum someone had changed the barrel on, and it never was able to make good power no matter what barrel, spring, piston weight or seal I tried.
After MANY experiments I finally heated the forks to break the glue and unscrew the forks. Cleaned the threads and re-glued it back togehter. Now it finally makes good power and shoots quite well.
