Dear Ed
       I'm glad you think it might work I will be bringing it down to sun
n
fun  for your opinion and ideas I have it mounted on one of jerry heys
tailwind mounts. with my welding jig 13b eng in place I think it makes for
a
compact package.
                                                           Regards
