                Fair play your tunnel went much better than mine I couldn't mate mine up to the original tunnel because it had been butchered before so i will have to fab that piece up. And the welding on mine isn't too clever.

                  Yours looks fine mate, mine would have been easier if it had a flange all the way round like the one pictured on plr website!

                        You asking me? I'm in a little village called Dihewyd. The cars coming on great too, do you do the fabrication yourself.
