    Hummmm... speed versus quality. What a conundrum - fortunately I have no choice. I don't have enough talent to take the slow and perfect route like you. For me, its always quick and dirty. Halleluja!

        I'm a social disabled, dyslectic, SOB trying to copy what others have done before me......lucky for me I’m good at it.
        Welcome into my PERFECT world Scott.
        Halleluja! indeed.

            Mr Merriman the box you sent over is a very tight fit......but it’s still OK.

            The tube inside I can use in the Akula and I have plenty space left.
            That SD is one incredible peace of engineering sir!

            Grtz,

            Test fitting the box








            The SD fits perfectly inside

                Perfect fit. And with the teeth end stuck at the other end of the box, you can fit the control rods and drive shaft without getting bitten!

                    Thanks for that mental imagery -- I'll have to scrub my brain with Drano to get that out of there.
