Out of interest Jim, what sort of epoxy did you use? I did flirt with the idea of using two part surfboard epoxy with some fibre glass mat fibres mixed in. The same method I use to glass in surfboard fin plugs.
Obviously I will await a response to my email but if I can't get another ash body replacement, I want option's.
Another idea is to drop tune o Matic thimbles in there (they fit snug) squeeze some C.A. or gorilla glue in the thimble and set the JMA bridge in there. That would still allow me to remove it if needed with out damaging the body.
Just hoping it doesn't come to that though.
Gutted I am not going to be working on it this weekend as planned but at least I am in Perth so an exchange should be able to happen pretty quick.
