Thanks again guys. We enjoyed making the vid - yeah, I present a lot for a living - tender pitches etc, so that dont worry me.  Today I think a little tidy up, and then look at the gearbox part of the project.  If you noticed a remote gear stick off a fiat hung up in the background, that is intended for use as an alternaive to cranked gear sticks etc, - going to see if we can use it somehow to give a nice notchy feel to the gate.  Off to get some mig wire now Smiley

If you go for the TT one,you will need room above the g/box for the mechanism. Luckily mine only just(by about 4mm) fitted under the diagonal brace that runs from backbone tube to axle!
