Markio Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Bloody good idea to use the block connectors. Nice work. I've been out today but haven't found any 6mm steel rod. Guess i'll have to take a longer trip to one of the bigger DIY stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
