Pleased you are having fun with it Gerry. The box and rack are Givi and bloomin useful (need to find one for my new VFR now) but yes fugly.

spurred on by this post my carbtune arrived today .....

It is a massive shame on this country that we do not support the maintenance of flying examples of our jet aircraft heritage. Unlike the guys in the USA.
