Hi 43rd The little cable tidies are from B&Q they have sticky pads in a pack but i use EMA plastic weld to fix them . Like my music, helps when trying to make up the dastardly PE parts etc . You have not missed much as its winter now , cycling is being wound down . Have time now to get the builds going.

Simply brilliant. I appreciate your approach to all the bits on this build. You are indeed a very accomplished builder.

Would you be able to do me a huge favour Mr Ronnie and give me a spacing measurement for your side mudguard mounts please.
Im about to get going on my ones and cant seem to find a definite measurement.

Thanks for the praise C73 . Don't think i an that good , had a massive fail with the Aber shovel holder it has 4 parts . The voyager PE is a bit more user friendly it has 2 parts , both sides and the curved sections are one piece . My soldering kit is a bit primitive should invest in the miracle solder paste and soldering torch.
- i need an upgrade to do the little PE bits

Hi Herman thanks . Will give you sizes . On the new Tamiya i cut the bolt heads off the side skirts and drilled thro the hull. The Atak zimmermet has cut outs for the fixing plates . Will send both sets of positions are they are different . Better make a couple of drawings.
