Hey guys,
Ha I'll have to sneak in to my dads garage and knick his front end, I'm sure he won't mind helping out his boy :) I did pass on your replays to my old man and he said what a mush mash if parts that bloke sold you! But to be fair I did get quite a bit for my money so I'm not complaining!
Thanks Bob, be good for comparison for sure, might be worth investing in the proper 8 inch full with hub for safety like you said! And buying the correct sliders too, always plenty on flee bay! Just a shame as I'd already stripped the sliders and wheel and primed and painted the sliders but I guess all good practice!
Yep I think I'll take your advice Dutch and move on to something else for now! My tank arrived yesterday, very pleased with it, in fantastic shape! I've gone away from the golden flash tank because it's massive :) instead I'm using a bantam D1-D3 tank, smaller but a lovely shape I think!
Thanks for the replies again chaps!
