lepo5 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hello and welcome to the OMOC forum, Im based in the North East of Scotland myself north of Aberdeen, there are one or two members in your area, Kev from Nairn is one. It would a great benefit to you to join the club and get full access to the forum and technical section as you are planning the XE conversion, not to mention the trade club discount which will save you more than what you pay for full membership, so very worthwhile.

robah Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Paul and welcome to the club. I spent 11 years in Morayshire in Forres (based at Kinloss), I loved the area. You have a good base of knowledge up there from all aspects of the club. Good luck with the project and have you got any pictures to show us Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
