This one is to be used and abused in the forests of Wales, (be a while yet though).

Couldn't have got this far without your Jig, especially as I'm having to build in such a confined space, highly recomended, although I have broken 2 location shot bolts so have resorted to using an 8mm allen key which works a treat!!!!

I'll be looking to buy one of your shell movers....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-MK1...item4cfbb7be15

If your feeling generous and fancy giving me a repeat customer discount then please contact me.

You've got some metal work skills there. What tool do you use to cut the bad metal out?

I'm using a Dewalt 4 1/2" angle grinder with 0.8mm thin metal cutting discs from Screwfix. for awkward areas I use a Dremel type tool with metal cutting discs, also use it to grind down bad welds in tight areas.

Welded in the radiator surround today, managed to seam weld it underneath except for the gussets, just needs some seam sealer along the top edge to make it look neat.
