1. To Vee or not to Vee, that is the question

... difficult to get the usual sort of gauge to "sit" properly.

That should do the business. Derek posted: 12 Mar 2010 13:56 from: David R Paul Boyd wrote: OK then, who rebates the point rail to take the splice rail? I reckon it makes assembly easier doing that!
