The only problem I can see if doing what I did, but over the phone, is getting the right bends on the fittings and getting the offsets right before clamping.

If you can find a place to walk into locally, I reckon it'll make life a bit easier!

Sounds like a lot of aggro, but when you see the savings over buying x4 branded lines...

Sounds good, but when fuel and time are factored in............
Oh god, don't do that or I'd never start it up at all.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Hey! when did Hosequip move as they used to be 5 minutes from me - Funny place when it used to be on Hythe Hill as they until quite recently and might still be using a vintage Mac running OS 7 or 8 to run their stock database system. Plus when I grew up next door to them when they were in Spurgeon St I regularly kept smashing their windows playing cricket in the road….
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Wow blast from the past. System 8 was the first OS I officially bought. An ideal use for old Power PC.
