Hey Euan,

Isn't this my old firing platform? Good to see it has not even been washed.

Almost forgot.

Amongst the parts I've bought, a very handy chunk of 25pr axle.
I'll set it at correct height, weld legs on each end, and use it to attach my trails to while welding proceeds.

Phillip,
The platform will get a bloody good cleaning in coming weeks!

Default WA firing platform

Hey Phil, yes it's another Hendo over promise under deliver deal.
By the time it gets to QLD it will be well traveled as picked it up in WA.

Hi Euan,

Not the spade cover. I've got one of those here somewhere, I think.
I'm after any of the pieces that make up the spade end of trails.
Have 3x hand spike pedals and the levers hand spikes lock into. Only need everything else!

I'm back from retrieving my platform. Left home 0430hrs yesterday, and arrived back at 1630hrs today. That's 2400km in 36 hours. I wouldn't recommend it.

On the positive side, I'll post all the highlights tomorrow, after I get some decent sleep.
