Stars are looking good Bob - The core is a little blown but that's easily sorted - Looks like a win win all round. Well done :smiley:

Hi Bob - whats your "cable management procedure"?  I made the mistake last night of not securing everything down and think i suffered from cables slipping and causing the guiding to "jump".  I may go down the single loom approach but was just looking for what others are doing.

Nice image btw

John
