Barn find zenith on eBay, looks good condition for age... as found by Nessa and posted on fb group:

It’s a zenith I think so actually 14’6 not 16’

Yes they look good to me, not tried them or looked at the size or spec in any detail yet... hoping they be an easy swap for standard ones....

I’ve had similar issues with new trolley wheels only lasting a few months.... I’ve replaced them with some very old ones off an old trolley, these are lasting better but are so old a cracked they can’t last that long.... I’d been thinking about getting these.... any thoughts on them? http://www.mers...

I’ve posted across on the BFA forum, good to get a bit of traffic on the classics section of that forum.

Hello I've put a few photos of Z43 (not one of mine but based at my club) in a dropbox folder for you along with a few scans of other Zenith info which might be of use if you are doing proctor research - here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ik1uankatv4yw65/AAB0wgx4FQ-kqY2lA_w_y4Mia?dl=0 Unfor...

I'm doing a few small jobs on the finn, aiming to make the tanks water tight, and a bit of a revarnish.

I need some off cuts of marine ply to make plugs for holes left by redundant fittings... Any suggestions where to get some?

Good work Nessa! Afraid I don't have any suggestions on a long term owner but at least it's safe for now!
