Hi Simon.

This is something I wanted to try and do as well, if anyone can make a proper job of I am sure you can mate, your Panther looked fantastic at the open day.
Looking forward to seeing this bit done. Will you be putting a laser light in it? you know one of the tiny pen lights? would look really good at dusk :idea:
Best wishes Paul :wink:

Brilliant Simon, good to see you at Yeovilton. Some high class turning there, loved the detail, especially the knurled bit.
