I'll try that, actually this afternoon I 've got time for a look. I do
remember that it had one of these washers under it. 
AS to driving distances, I( couldn't even be bothered to go to Gaydon, but

on. Admittedly some of you folks are willing to drive a lot further than we
would. 

Cheers, Gernot
