Indeed... mines now on a shelf until I get around to modifying it..

I’ve had a look at doing it already and it’s really very simple

Thanks.
The red case is my right hand man the Autologic Diagnostics - never too far away from these vehicles also makes a good seat to paint an engine block. |

Well you never get quite as much done as you wanted, stayed extra late tonight and put the crank and pistons in. It’s not building engines that annoys me it’s the hours and hours of cleaning parts, bolts and thread holes

YouTube is a good place to bung videos like that. I doubt you'll get Martin doing video hosting on here!
