Thanks Kev, One thing i forgot to say one of your vac hose castings is cracked, plus they wont fit on the back as they wont bend round the bunker!

That is rather stunning! I'd bend up some break hose stands out of thin pipe and use flexible tubing so it is compatible with the Bond Brake (c) system!!

The nameplates need to come down a little so they are inside the lining
No, that's where Victoria's nameplate's always been :D
