Hi Deejay,
Sounds like a plan to me. I'm happy to provide a running pictorial dialogue on the progress. I won't be doing anything on it for a little while as I'm currently doing a full engine rebuild in a VS Statesman that is going to Perth for my son in law and then moving house but once I'm past that I'll get back to the Scotty and then the "Blue Meanie" Lawn King version that I have which has a minor case of the same syndrome around one hole.
For now cheers to all,
Marty (Bonnar_Bloke)
