broken bits
Hello Ian
I had a similar problem with an old hoover backplate and repaired using a thing sheet aluminium, chemical metal and finishing it off with Hammerite white smooth paint. These machines are supposed to have a metal retainer for the heating element, but if its gone you can use a stainless steel bolt, rubber washers and sealant you will have to fiddle about with washers and locking nuts so the elemement sits properly but it can be done. Any rust rub back treat with Kurust then chemical metal, smooth back and again Hammerite paint it Gary

Ho Yes.
To be total honest I think many cast iron tubs went this way, either the resulting rust or a complete breach, think of the odd workman’s trousers with a stray six inch screw or nail left in the pockets falling though one of the drum holes is more than capable of shirring off the support bracket, maybe the lady of the houses bra wire could have the same effect too.
