64valiant Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Saves a bunch load of mucking around. And also trusting something I've had welded up from a mate. And if it brakes I can just take it back and point finger at some one else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
