You have done yourself proud on that setup, a labour of love. Now you get the pleasure of using it too!

Inspirational!

Cheers Steve. Labour of love indeed. There where more that a few times when I thought I'd scrap it it and buy a 300p flextube!

That is a clouting job John, you can rightly be proud of that. I wouldn't mind a squint through that as well.


 


All being well, we will still be going to Kelling, in fact to say I am looking forward to it is an understatement. I don't know if the handbrake will be attending, I hope so, she needs a break as well.

John, what are the metal clamps that secure the truss tubes on the mirror box?
