    I dont mind lathes, but its mainly milling machines I've been invlolved in. The machines we have in work would blow ur mind with the things they can do. I've been lucky to be right at the front of the queue every time something new came in to get my teeth into.

    Pretty much. It just takes me time though as the machines are always busy as u can imagine. That and I'm off the machines now and programming them to do the jobs.

    its the in house developed linkage as used by HM Plant from 2009 onwards.

    same plate either side, the reason i got the one above was because the bolt holes were milled the wrong side, thats the rh plate and the bolt holes should have been milled the other side, but if you use standard set up of nuts & bolts you dont need to mill bolt threads etc.

    Dan, it would transform the handling, quicker steering, more ride height (approx 15mm up) and more essentially is a lot more progressive.
