Hi Lou, its very strong and I am very happy with the way the parts fit together.. and quickly as well, it engineered to take a lot of weight.

Ref the hydraulics, there are two options I believe, one with hydraulics one without. I went for the one with. It comes with everything, pipe, fittings etc. I assembled the pump last night... photos will be online tonight.

Not sure if the pump is the same, I will ask Frank when I next speak to him.

Thank Ari, although its put the tipper build on hold for the moment :-)

Still not sure on the colour, was going for the Bell yellow, but after seeing the white ones... not so sure.???

Little bit of an update....

Well, after three evenings work, to cutout, file, sand, grind and glue the cab together… doesn’t look a lot of work from the three photos, but it took about 10 hours in total and was my least favorite job to date …
