Thanks for all the nice complements,

I would just like to thank Maxi for giving me the opportunity to do this project there has been a steep learning curve on it which Maxi has been very patient trough but I am very happy with the end result,

The gearbox an clutch setup has just been fitted and tomorrow should see Benny get his new hart,

again thanks for the complements
regards,
Paul.
