        @declan that will be a long time very long time if ever, to be honest, it probably always be a tinker toy if you know what I mean but then again as already stated time will tell I do have some ideas but ill keep them close for now things can change

                  @terry-tz So I may have to adjust my Build thread title 😂

                  Keep us updated as you go, mine was always a weekend work in progress when I had the time. I used it pretty much everyday during the week.

                  Keep it real

                                          I no longer think it's the plug seems to be a restriction but sometimes I get 80 and others 70 or anywhere in between il get to the bottom of it
