Post by: raymond on April 11, 2009, 04:08:28 PM

From memory 2 1/2 inches were the standard ones that the England team had off Fusion, they did do a few special orders at 2 inches too.

Yes, just make sure you use the right tools (jig-saw, or electrical cutter) I cocked mine up by using an axe and going for one big smash down either side ;)
