Good evening everyone last weekend - was spent working out how much extra work would be required to complete the re work on the Gun port lanyards and weather it was actually worth it, the deciding factor was tha fact that as my lids are shut - they would make a drastic improvement - providing they were done better over the week i sourced some bigger wire 1.5mm and as a result the bore was bigger as well so the lanyards fit in nicely all the port side holes were redrilled to 1.5mm and then again at the angle of the lids them selfs, - it is hard to explain so i will let my latest pictures tell the story click on photo for bigger image
