Oooh I'm looking forward to seeing the Gillott back up and running.
Will you be using the transfers from this guy on the Gillott Facebook forum as they look Pukka, also before they spray the frame, make sure you get them to send you pictures of the repairs. Once your happy with the work they have carried out, they can then go ahead and paint.
I did the same at Colourtech and it turned out they had fitted the wrong tubing. Luckily they hadn't painted the frame.

I am chatting with him over Messenger, might use his indeed.
Thanks for the hint, will ask Winston to send pics of the finished work. But not sure how to check what type of tube he used from a pic?
I'm sure though he'll be using Reynolds 531

Maybe I should have explained, I had asked and specified pencil thin stays and was told they would definitely be fitted. On inspection they were not pencil thin stays at all but some inferior stay. Anyway this was all years ago now and the issue was all resolved.
