I'm assuming you mean the regulator lever and it certainly looks like it so it would not be too hard to fit a RC lever to that and make it RC controlled |
Yep, I did mean the handle. Maybe I should say that next time

Lesson in DIY. Things are always simple when being described by someone else! Things are rarely simple when you try and do it yourself!

MTA the original pipe supplied with the regulator hat to be cut so that the threades bush could be soldered on and I also had to cut 1/4 of an inch off the front end of the pipe where it fitted into the f/r regulator at the front of the engine.
hope that makes sense 4.40am here not quite awake yet

That makes perfect sense! Our Australian members must love early starts and late nights! I think Tony was on here once at 1 am Oz time and had to wake up at 6am Oz time the same day

I have a two year old that I have to change his nappy at midnight or he wont make it through the night so no point going to be earlier than that and I start work in the city at 7:30am so I'm up at 6:30am every day.
Weekends are different I'm usually up until 1 or 2am and sleep in as long as I'm aloud.
But I every now and then do night work so whilst waiting for things to happen log on at work so it looks like I'm always on.
