Glyn, your prob do better with pic's using a photobucket account, attachment space here your using is limited. You also find pics taken at 640x480 size  are better for posting pic's on the internet.

Glyn,

Your really on a roll, getting a ton of work done, I'm feeling guilty about the lack of work I've done since I got the truck back from Taps. (The missus' fault, I've been fitting and tiling a bathroom for 3 weeks now and still got a away to go  

What paint are you using on your suspension parts?

Thanks for the info.

Sounds more like a police state than ever...

Glad my Sierra and Yamaha are over here, if I don't register it, I don't have to do anything, I just can't use it on the road...  no big deal.

Are you talking about when you put the sump on?, if so I would use Yamabond 4 which is an incredible non-hardening joint compound, but if you don't have any, then Hylomar Blue is an excellent sealer, don't be tempted to use any Silicone RTV stuff.
