Just out of interest what are you using for the grip on those yellow wheels? Each side has a pair of polythene wheels from MUTR clipped together. The inner has been drilled to be a push fit on the gearbox shaft and cross drilled for a screw to help stop slip on the shaft. The blue is Loctite 5926, ...

I'm not sure about AWS32 but I'm certainly able to get to Millennium Point on 26th June . I see Peter's talking about being there, I've been whipping AFM into shape.
