[phatfil]

[wildpolecat]

gutting bud,didnt think it needed belt sanding what your plan to fix it now 

[oldschoolib]

I'd tried to slim it down , an went to far with it . ill start again and ad magnets once I'm happy with it , little learning curve for me ...

[wildpolecat]

Ouch, I feel your pain oldschoolib, I tried a belt sander that was part of a bench grinder on a aluminium once and found that as the belts are all very course it was no good for mod making.

[oldschoolib]

if I'm doing this again I'm going plan to put a chip in it , what's the easyest thing to use ?

VE Jason has DNA30's in the clearance section for £20 ATM, some people say the YiHi SX350 is easiest as you don't need up/down buttons, but they are £50, a lot bigger, there is no flexibility on how you mount the screen and only a DOA warranty.
