    How did you bond the base plate? What type of glue as i'm worried about drilling through my deck, one mistake and it's toast.

    Defo - it makes a huge difference, as it allows the bearing to realise its full potential!

    Sorry for the delay in replying. I bonded the base plate with high strength epoxy resin(araldite)
    I heated it up with a hair dryer to get it nice and runny. Mike has instructions that are supplied with the base plate on the correct way to bond the plate.

    So how are things sounding Glen, with the base-place in situ, compared with before?

    I did the base plate, bearing,copper arm board, power supply and arm in one go. So the initial improvement was night and day. I am looking forward to the final piece.

    I had one of these as well and they offer extremely good value for money. You can improve this again by swapping for an ebony armboard, I've written a review somewhere on the forum.
