Paul Palmer Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 you were right will It looks like it could just be a case on removing the bonnet and adding spacers to the front to bring it up level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm hoping mine will be here either today or tommorrow. Possibly paid bit more for it buying direct but this is 1 model i want even though it needs some work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You made a good job of the 690 Paul & at least it looks the part now. As bad as it is bt UH first day, it just goes to show that a simple few tweeks will do the job. Its a better option to tweek the UH model than butcher up a Britains MF2680, ROS MF 1014 or even a very expensive Schuco MF1014 to get an end result!!! im sure that my 690 will get slated,but with those little tweaks,ones i shouldnt have to do,i know,i am now very happy with it and glad i bought it,sold out allready where i got mine from and so is the 390,so proving popular thats for sure pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
