    I drilled three more holes in the MB tray to allow more room.

    I've just re-done mine coming from a R2E to a R3E as well, and we share a few similar parts. You have good taste is all I'll say
    Thank you!

    I am trying, especially with Martin's great work, but these Corsair cables are really stiff.

    I did manage to cut the out of my thumb. After drilling and filing, my thumb managed to find the one spot that was not filed Fortunately I did it in the tank room and the blood landed on the rubber floor, no staining.

    Currently the primer coat is drying on the MB tray and I should get the initial coat of black on tonight.

    My last piece of the puzzle is to determine where to add the second rad
    (120.1) in the loop. Is there any downside to running rads in series? The Feser is not that restrictive and the SR does not appear to be either. Any thoughts?
    Thanks for looking in and more pics tomorrow.
