Dan,

Hold off until you visit here Saturday arvo....with a cold JW in your hand I will explain (and show) the way around this (and also how to fix).

It's called the Milly's Method  &&

So chill mate - you can fix - it's all cool  ()

Looking really nice Daniel.

Interesting they didn't centre the coin door on the design...!  I guess they were pumping them out back then in the good old days!
