I didn't have the bits I need for the whiskey thief DBV, they're on the list for Bunnings :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers for the offer Bryan, got a birthday party on tomorrow though. All good, I've only got a bit of cleaning up to do now anyway :happy-partydance:

Far out the H O G is sexy. Does blockhead refer to it being a T piece to the Lyn arm rather then a 90 bend?

Spot on Chef, and thanks. I'm looking forward to getting it polished up after a couple of shakedown runs!
