Not many good bits come up for sale for these , took me 6 months to get this one .
Just need to find a carbon can strap for it and give it a good polish 😉

It seems to be you need to post the photo as you have taken it on your phone or ipad, not turning it around from the original shot before posting it.

Think I’m getting the hang of my phones orientation when taking a pic for the forum . If I hold the phone rotated to the left it uploads correctly . Any other way and it’s upside down .
If I try to rotate the pic it’ll always be upside down .
I’ve made a mental note to hold it left next time 👍
