shame you've now moved so far away!!

 

cracking work as always, plus that BWR COP plate does the job good doesn't it ;) 

I can always help with wiring mate, and after I saw your gold BWR plate I knew I had to have one!

Hi, no problem - if I can help with advice I'm always happy to.  I've learned a lot along the way and still learning as it's all going back together!
