i wish to say thx to Paul (iron eagel) for helping me out, and also it is the one of the biggest reasons i remain in this fine hobby............nice folks all around this world, and another thx to all of you who responded.
i sometimes get into anal mental blocks that are to do with detailed items like this which i never used to give a second thought.
nowadays however with such limited time for building, i plan all my steps to keep from having to fix something that is avoidable by planning.
