Thanks guys 

Sounds like I've got the steering set up correctly then. As for the rubber grommets, I might just bond them in place with a little silicone to stop them falling out.

I ordered a couple of new super-bright LED bulbs for the headlight & tail light. Each one has 25 LEDs in it and I have to say they look pretty good!

Great vid but what is the tune! It's used on loads of kung fu films that I watch!!

[ScubaChris]

Yeah, great retro tune isn't it? It's called 'Magic Fly', by a band called Space. I think it was released in 1977 and did quite well as far as I can remember.

No problem Karl, it's the least I could do after all the help, advice and parts I've received from yourself and others on this site. It would have been a nightmare job otherwise!
