Re: BBC News Europe. Did they include the close up of tapping out the shock absorber thread on the new chassis for a particular reason?

Re: BBC News Europe. Ben, don't you mean 'twirling the tap with one finger', as there was definitely no tapping going on there. Having tapped about 1,500 of these threads, I feel reasonably well qualified to comment on this.  Those who've suffered from broken M12 damper bolts or dampers falling off their $ity chassis will be pleased to learn that the current version now has Citroen style M14 x 1.5 threads to take the correct studs. Another step in the process of being 'steadily developed and refined'?  Still a few other details which need addressing, going by the one which called here today.

Re: BBC News Europe. I thought you'd like that bit, Ken. It's interesting to hear that they are improving their product.
I was surprised to see that they are mainly exporting their chassis overseas - I thought regulations for chassis are stricter on the European mainland.
