Thanks heaps guys, its really handy to have a supplier so close to me in Boronia, will be handy for emergency parts.
With CIP1 I had great results last time but I cant risk a shipping delay.
So I went with Wolfsburg for most of my parts as they had everything in stock and promised delivery within two days :D

Again thanks for suggestions :wink:

Another amazing production Joe :) :) :)
This cloning idea would help out at our place too.
Put myself to work and I could go fishing.
Enjoy the challenge that you've set for yourself and I'm sure the results will follow.
Remember: It's not work if you're enjoying what you need to do.
Take care.

If Joe can knock out Split after Split for $10k, and the next one will be less because he already has all the power tools, he is going to make himself some serious money.
Either that or a whole stable of Splits.
Cheers & God Bless
