Saw the pics Ashley and its pretty well the same as I imagined it would be. Nice to know that what I dreamt up - even though I dreamt it later than you - actually works!

Pretty spot on there Lloyd, but its nice feeling confident that its in good hands. There's gonna be no rust left anywhere once its done though, very nice feeling.

Mine is up the other side Jed, in the original location. Nice thought though!

.. an as if to excuse my slow progress compared to your man, actually got my PUCH Maxi started and running today, yippee, and it's quite a mover, a rare turn of speed for a 50cc moped IMO

Don't know which is more frightening, the photo above , the fact that I may have to do something similar, or the thought of Clive tearing it up on his 50cc moped!
