He did however mention you Bren, he gave me your email and said you're a top bloke and and would no doubt be able to resolve the issue!
Ahh that’ll be Michael. The McLennan gearbox trick. Another oldie but goodie. Michael is pivotal in mechanics of of mounts. He’s don’t a lot of work and mods/tweaks and has written comprehensive guides. I’m more electronics nerd. I just don’t get the hands on he does.

Glad it’s sorted I pay him to say nice things about me! Hahaha

Cheers
