just a little, I almost sent sven the money the night before! (and I would have paid a lot more for it, but decided not to lower myself to trying to outbid as this is a friendly forum )- still, good luck with whatever form of motorsport you participate in! Who are you getting to do the welding for you?

Pleased there are no hard feelings. I accept full responsibility, and hope this doesn't tarnish the good name of Sven.
As for fitting, I'll offer it up and see how extensive the welding is going to be, then if it's fairly straightforward I'll do it myself.

Next Shields meet is the last Sunday of April, only seem to be attracting 10 cars or so at a time, should improve when the weather gets nicer though. There's a big classics show on at Hartlepool historic quay on the 13th, plenty north east RR members going.
Been waiting for the metro centre meets to start back up, never been but the next one's Wednesday the 9th of April I believe. My yank car has no MOT but I'll wander along anyhow.
