Any ideas when the first track session will be Martin.
I have a new camcorder and want to get decent footage of it.

Martin,

Nice bit of gear.

What cambelt are you using ?

I looked at doing a tall block for my stroker YB a while back but couldn't find a belt in Oz of suitable additional length.

for the moment here's what i want to reveal about the new donkey....
* the rods are just under an inch longer than standard

The blue/black fittings all look very nice back there, good to see a change from the red/blue every now and then. Looking good all round!
