does this mean you are volunteering to be a 150 mph cameraman then panky :D

"you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off no.3"
 
I volunteer to cheat, mount it in my spare dashboard and tweak the speedo connect with pliers and film the front[}:)] - might be a safer job for panky the roving cameraman (but less interesting;))

hi dozer :), thanks for the offer, but i have most of what i need now, just a r/counter to get, i am going for one of the big expensive autometer ones :p.
big shame your mate is moving, would love to see that one [^] sounds wicked (apart from the paint job [xx(]).
mid engine is excellent idea :p[8D], would do the same but i need to get bikes and welding gear in the back,so i need the space.
look forward to the pics :D

it started of as lazyness but as the job got going it was so much easier than mine .. its food for thought .. the cover only sticks up a foot .. i made it taller so he could have a table .. once again speedy cables made the speedo cable .. he said if we have a meet in feb he will come :D with the van that is ;)
