Why the 114 degree lobe centre?
Im running a smaller hyd roller but are keen to put a similar solid roller in.
Is that $17 gross or clear? I know the feeling of trying to work up a big block Corvette in Oz on a budget!
What is the rest of the combo?

[QUOTE=Secret Squirrel]I'm on around $17au bucks an hour you do the math Len
Take up horse shoing. It pays about $100 per hour and you guys have some of the best horses in the world.
That's what I do to finance my vet parts. Never have to ask the wife for a cent.
When I look at a part I relate it to how many horses shoes I have to nail on to pay for the part.

It is extremely hard work but after a few years the body adjusts. YOu must be under 40 here to be admitted into school. It is a young mans job but us old guys growing the the trade do fine.
It pays $100 plus per hour . The plus is depending on options. The $100 is the standard fee. Alot of cash under the table, write off a truck and gas and you get to work mostly with females.
Love the tight riding britches.
