    Rick, I hope he is looking down on us and that he approves of what he sees.

      Great stuff Paul, did you make the sand mats? I was thinking about them for my rally truck but can not be bothered with all that drilling.

        The sand mats are etch offerings. If you want them I have the original kit ones.

            That is a very kind offer Paul but they may be too small for the large truck tyres, if it's not too much to ask could you measure the width and length of them and let me know please?

                Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                    I think this award has been due for some time.

                    Congratulations Paul on the attribution of the Simon T scratchery award. Bravo

                      If these are any good send me your address and I will stick them in the post. These matts are a standard size and are designed to interlock to make a larger surface.

                              Cheers Andrew they are quite easy to make.

                              Take a suitable length of correct diameter soldering wire. Fold around a suitable drill to give the curved end. Cut the shackle to the desired length. Using some smooth flat pliers crimp the ends so that they form the flats. Next file the flats so they are round. Carefully drill through the centres of each flat. Next take some wire the same diameter as the drilled holes, flatten one end in the same way as the flats on the shackle. Again radius the end. Drill a hole. Finally cut to length.
