Also time gets eaten up with finding the parts and waiting for delivery. Mine is still not on the roads as I have no spare time at the moment as life gets in the way.

Listen to Flip, he speaks sense.

Whatever you choose to do post a thread about it.
I hadn't really considered the possible (probable) complications of axels brakes etc needing replacement as an unintended complication & cost... Thanks for the real life experience, to me that counts for alot.

Yes I am happy to hear all opinions and follow advice from those who "have already been there & done that" - young Flip is certainly one of those.

I will certainly post a thread once things are decided with details of costs, problems & benifits. Might even include a pic or two!
