My arm now feels like it is going to drop off!
Just had a very productive night in the garage. Apart from it being freezing and windy I managed to cut the 5mm plate (with a hacksaw - i'm far too soft to use an angle grinder lol) for the gearbox mount and part of the 3mm plate for the handbrake (pictures on my Flickr link below)
Does anyone know how to post pictures into the message??

Something like this is what you need. With plenty of WD40 and a slow drill speed. Cheap drill bits are made of cheese!

Dorma bits are really good too, they stay sharp forever, even with abuse, they are expensive but can be bought as single bits in the sizes you need for a few quid each.

forgot to say, the rrp on those is £5 each so if i give you them half price i reckon you owe me about 500 quid
  give or take fifty quid or so.Joking aside, i drilled through some 15mm hard plate on the stumpgrinder at work this morning, i couldnt be arsed with slow and steady cos it was in a hard to reach position. The bit was smoking like mad at full speed but went through no problem, it didnt blunt it a bit.

welding help needed
Is there anyone near Newcastle who would be able to weld a couple of brackets for me in exchange for some beer. I have been waiting for my mate who works offshore to do this for me ( a professional welder) however he has gone totally AWOL!! and im kind of now stuck with my build. There are 3 brackets . 1 gearbox mount, 1 diff support and a handbrake cable support. I can photos if required
Thanks David
