Hi nice work there.

Cause transit drag link goes down . should look up.

Dan take heart it stagnated for ages i was working on it but getting no ware then it just started to come together i found that making a plan of work
with loads of small tasks worked IE i didnt make a list and put make wishbone armes i instead put down cut tube , make bush tubes ,make jig etc it
makes you feel a lot better and it looks like your getting there
