Bob,
I, for one, will not be getting rid of the cables, due to having turnbuckles
fitted already. I will get a local engineer to weld some ears on the new
TP18 for the cable ends to attach and fit them as required. May also fit the
tufnol strip as well, not sure. Got my 9 year old son Angus practicing the
manoeuvre already as I await the MOD in the mail. I had a look at the TP18
yesterday to check for any stress and looked quiet normal. Checked also the
cables and they were both tight and certainly keeps the arm from any lateral
movement.
Hope this is all worth it?
Cheers,
Tim
