This popped up on facebook a while back and it was very handy.

My 14 year old nephew has just started competing in off road motorsport with me training him and this saved a lot of time and hand waving from me, and it doesn't go of on a tangent like I do.

Many rebuilt by yours truly and trained in Gratz for a short while in 1971 at the Steyr works.
