GaGeeBees, Thats cool on the tank. Yes-I'v tried to talk to that man about his retracts. He just want too much for them. I'v seen sev. for anywhere from 119.00 to 156.00. I would deal with him but he is steadfast on his price. All the stuff I'v read about the Byron retracts is they are just strong enough for the model. I think some have beafed them up. I have a machine shop and If I have to will make a set. Feel free to send some more photo's of yours sometimes. Roy
