The Mule

[Rick Lowe]

I actually mended my Lightning refuelling probe like that as well. And it seems to work so far, also for such a long and slender piece.

I completely replaced an A-4 probe with wire, in the first place - saved all the potential stress and angst... pics may follow on my blog, in due course...
(oo, you tease! )

I'll take that as a promise.. 

You can certainly do that, but I have to find the thing first, and take some better photos.
