I’d pulled off the rotten remains of the gutter on the drivers side, and had now got to the point where they either all had to be cut off, or I had to make some new ones. I decided I’d just get on with it and make some. Firstly I made a plate to hold the shrinker too as it was a pain to use clamped in the vice. I could then clamp the plate really tight so it didn’t move about.

After a bit of measuring, I cut up some more of the donor hood and folded up a strip of it to use. It was a few inches more than I needed, but was the right size. With the shrinking jaws swapped for stretching ones I made the curve for the end of the rail then cut it down to the right length. A few quick tacks with the gas welder and it was done for now. It’s between the two lines on the roof in case you’re trying to work it out!
