Your English is fine ! I think we need the help of Dave500 who is our top CB500 expert. I'll PM him and ask for his advice.

Perhaps Professor Rieck will trundle past and provide a machinist's advice. Take nothing away from Dave, he's quite knowledgeable.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
