Hi Folks,
1. Will post weld seam expriments as I go
2. Hey Herman
Good to be back and with MOJO intact.
3. See 1
4. Convoy is in there its just a bad angle.
5. GREAT SHOT THROUGH THE HATCH! Thanks so much
Next up the body goes on and the Fiefel gets installed. Regarding the Fiefel filters, i know there should be chains on the bottom caps but i decided they would have been broken during use so missing. Its a decisions thats eating me up at the moment as I want to add them but this means removing the filter containers to work on them!!.
ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY! I wish i had a life

Re: ABE'S EARLY TIGER 1 BUILD
Hi Abe. Most builders overlook that there were chains also on the drainage/cleaning caps that are on the bottom of the feiful filters also .Great spotting. If you did not point this out it would not have been apparent. Most builders have one chain not three each side. John

Well to paraphrase Vic and Bob...I wouldnt let it lie.

Those chains just HAD to go on otherwise I would always have the itch that needs scratching.
