Hi FAST GRASS, and thanks for your comments.
I think you may have been a bit harsh...as we have been discussing the differences between the Model 30 'Queen'..... and I was also considering what was factory fitted original equipment (guards) so that William can restore his machine to
original condition if he wishes. We were not discussing safety issues per se.
I was stating that SB did not fit them and possibly the reasons for it.... I was not 'kicking' safety....I am extremely safety conscious, and
always advocate good, safe, workshop practise. As a moderator that is one of my responsibilities.
I can tell you as an ex-apprentice myself, the very first thing that was drummed into us was workshop safety.
But I did feel that I was responsible for my own actions.
If William wishes to install the relevant guards to his machine, that would be a good thing for safety's sake, if not, well that is his decision.
I feel you may have taken my post out of context.
