Looking good there!! I have been watching this build with interest (along with Chris's) if it wasnt for the price of castings I would love to have a go at building one, but there are too many other projects that are cheaper on my "to-do" list :proj:
But you are making it look very easy, I look forward to seeing the video of it working.

Great work there scrap man, it's looking brilliant. Useful for anybody considering building one. Tim you're right, the castings are so expensive these days best part of 100 squid for a 10v or 10h inc delivery :bugeye:

Buy two sets, make them both and then sell one. Should earn enough to pay for both sets plus paint etc.
Making two is only about 30% more effort than making one...

Hi Tim , Nick, kwackers :wave:,
Thank you all for your comments, The castings are expensive more expensive if you make a mistake lol ::) ,
