        Is it the kit that doesn't fit or because of all the wiring? Goodluck ?โ€โ™‚๏ธ

            Hi Chris.Im sure you can sort the beggar out and knock it into shape.Give it some brute force and with crossed fingers and a following wind you can shoe horn it all together.Hope Jen is ok.
            Great stuff mate.

              G/M Richard hope you an yours are well an yes i'll get it done but it would have been nice to have it just drop into place rather than havin to fight it to get it to fit but it was like this on the tomcat but i suppoce these big kit when they make them its a job to get them to fit dead right so hence out come the clamps an such but it will fit its just that its awkward to get the clamps to hold on an thank you sir for askin about jen yes she is now out of her depresshion an she i goin to the pictures with her freind they wanted me to go but no good to me as there is no subtitles on the screen like on tv so no fun for me an i will be much happyier at home buildin this hornet
