Hi electricman
Thanks for the update and the show and tell as they say...lol
i see that Edd did your's with the 2 female rose joints i must say it quick off the mark.

 

[electricman]

Yeah that's right.. He used 2 females and threaded bar on that one as opposed to one male and one female.. But on his own he used the male as it already provided the thread which worked out better as he didn't need to Cut and shorten one female thread.

It does pickup quite quickly..... Gears still look like new.

Hi electricman
out of you and Edd who's gear mod was done first? reason am asking is why was the mod changed?

 

[electricman]

The one with 2 females and a threaded bar was used first bacause it seemed logical at the time. After fitting and finding that one of the females would need a shoulder slightly machining off to bring the two closer together... Edd noticed that the male had a smaller shoulder and would screw into the unmodified female and be a tighter fit with no extra work.

Have to clarify one point though, none of these cars is mine. The one in vid one is Edd's, the one in the garden is Mark's.
