I’m going to re line mine it’s worn thin , I was thinking of also lining it with stock board to protect the new lining , anyone else done this ? Figured the blades will hold the stock board in place if plenty of them . ?

We relined ours at the start of lockdown with 5mm thick steel. It's also been replated front and back and the flights on the auger replaced. We took the view that by the time the new liner wore out, the whole thing would be totally knackered.
If you put stockboard in, you're going to need to bolt it down all over the place or it will lift up and the rotor will shred it. I suspect all those bolt holes will do more harm than good. Also, when the bolt heads wear away the stockboard will start coming up.

Yes I think you might be right , I notice in one of their leaflets they say they can re line them with plastic just got me thinking .

How did you bend 5mm have you a set of rollers ?

Had it done for us by a Keenan dealer down Castle Douglas way. He's got a fair bit of experience rolling them and will get the size bang on for you and tell you how to do the job. @sheepwise will have his details. I picked them up on the flatbed and did the welding. It's not too hard a job if you get everything well cleaned and prepared before hand.
