Good to see a man after my own heart - truly enjoys winding up the OCD's on here (no need to explain, they'll do it shortly).

Just testing ;)it’s not actually fixed as I’ve got to thread the capillary through the bulkhead.

Not for me to say, I’m happy for people to run around holding their heads screaming NO, NO, NO!

No OCD here... :D

seriously I’m in awe of the workmanship you are putting into this project and the speed white which you are rattling through it.

I have frequently however wound up the OCD mob on here and get great pleasure from it. The dash offered a great opportunity to exploit them on several counts of which Catman got them and bit! The clincher is switch No.3 but I’m sure it needed to be in that order but there are many on here I know who just couldn’t do it!

Keep up the excellent work mate.
