Cheers Frankencab never used a porta power kit before and understand it's the use of hydraulic presses. Tempted to get one and give it a shot, worse case scenario I have got a donor front end to use but it would be nice to get it right but may well be beyond my novice capabilities. We ll see how we go.

I've also started a thread in the members projects for anyone who wants to follow my progress.
