Default Flathead tested ready to fit

Gents,

Had the flathead on the test bed, just need to clean it up and paint, this should see off most carrier rivals on the arena circuit, might even get a 17 pounder on the towe hook.

Interesting, is there much difference in size and are there many mods needed to fit it.
