Let's hope not greg - I'd like to think it'll last quite a while - I know ish happens and all with beginners - but cmon moan - let's think a little more positive - Ohh and I solved the shaft length problem - I got a spinner nut instead of the plastic spinner - this one's aluminum that threads right on to the shaft - plenty of room that way- not knowing this stuff I didn't know they had them like that - I've decided that I'm going to wait until someone experienced around can help me out - I'll just have to be patient.
