Re: FAO Widearch people, what have you done to your originals?

nuthing wrong with spacers.....or is there something im missing? In general there's nothing wrong with using them, fitted properly they are no different to using a different offset wheel.

Re: PK_090'S Build/bodge and restore thread!

personally id try and filltet the corners so they are rounded but not all stuff is like that, hopefully though my new method will cure this problem and allow me to get the cloth into the corners, with no adverse effects.

Re: PK_090'S Build/bodge and restore thread!

I think im at the stage now where ive g...
