Hi Peter, work offshore on Oil rigs West Africa used to work for DB offshore Nam on the big 230T subsea crawler they had and now pilot these "dinky" toy ones :rolling: work class with two robotic arms - if I didn't do this for a living I'd like to play golf... :biggrin:

Tried to send you a e-mail regarding bashplate for the Trol - it came back to me? Do you have and how much.
