Hey guys little update for you all been and seen my snap on guy and he's told me there's nothing he can do for me with the sliders and as for the replacement lock....... well that's not happening either as he's tried charging me £39 per lock ( ×2 needed) bearing in mind there the same as a...

It does tend to go quite rubbery so to speak after a while to be honest l, not heard of superlube before will ha e to have a look into some and didn't think of Teflon grease either that's a good idea cheers buddy [emoji3] Sent from my SM-A500FU using Tapatalk

Funnily enough I've actually done what you've said with a vice after cleaning them and a few of the runners are now running perfect there is a couple that seem very stiff still after straightening and re-lubing I'm ordering some lithium grease and am going to give some of that a go on the...

Hey guys little update I started to rub/ sand down the back of the box to try and remove some of the serface rust and have noticed that a few blemishes are in and around my serial numbers is there any way of preserving them as I don't want too loose them there very faint and not stamped in very...

See I'm going to look on eBay see if I can find another original one with the old brass keys as I'd like to keep its parts as original as possible I'm also going to take the handles off tomorrow and see what it'll cost me to have the paint matched to the original as I know the paint colour tone...

So update as for straightening the lid here's a couple of before and after shots .... now onto my rep situation I've managed to speak to him and he's coming round (week today) to inspect the runners and see what the best approach is to take, he's also said unfortunately they no longer do the...

Thank you I must admit the lady on the phone from snap ons customer service was more than happy to assist me, not heard of matco before so I'm going to look into those now too [emoji6] I'm defiantly going to try soaking my sliders first but always good to have a back up just in case but at the...

Thanks pal [emoji4] will do buddy hopefully be able to upload some pics later after clamping the lid if all had gone well lol (before and after pics) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Right guys I have spoken to snap ons customer service department (BTW you get to speak to an acctual person [emoji44]not a robot) and have been told that they are still under warrantee, now even though they are 1983 and 1989 they can still get the slides or an equivalent to fit from U.S for me...

I've just been through my shed and have found some 2.5 ft drain tube so I'm going to head down to local hardware store and see if I can get an end cap to fit also been told some carb cleaner will get rid of all the **** off them after the initial soak I've got a list of the runner codes I'm...

Thanks dude I actually prefer rattle cans to spray guns, that said yours looked fantastic through your post can't believe you sold it though but then again it looked brand new by the time you finished so why not lol. Did you ever manage to sort out rubbers for the handles ? I also loved what you...

Thanks for the advice [emoji4] I'm actually contemplating changing the colour altogether and going with a fantasia green or deep midnight purple with it but will only be using spray cans I will however be taking your advice still and flash coating them just a waiting game to make my mind up on...
