Re: Drum lifters
Most of the fresh ones (after Feb’09) will be fixed with a screw securing them in place.
Think if its a split tub you can do it, but if welded tub only way you could get at the screws is by removing the top weight and drilling a hole carefully in outer tub (after tricky measuring to find exact position), this then has to be sealed by a bung obviously after fitting screws again carefully (with magnetic screwdriver) to prevent dropping screws in.
Other than that its a new welded tub to be replaced.
