Asad Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 could have not just notched it yourself? surely all they are going to do is take a grinder/big cutting bit and take the material off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 If the mods want to edit any of this to tidy it up feel free, it could do with a section listing the torque settings and also the diagram for the head tightening sequence if anyones got it knocking around.
