LOL, Dave, your free lance engineering is more like tack it on, if it looks good keep it lol. They seem to work in the end tho, once theyve been cut off a few times and welded back on lol.

Erm, sponsorship.. It really depends on how big the company is, where the company is etc. If its a local model shop, then it will always be best to go down and talk to them. (Ed hoppit made a good report on how to get sponsorship) But i suggest that if it is a larger company, then an e-mail is always good. they get checked daily. Also it will give you time to think what you are saying through, and check things over and change them if appropriate.

Always be truthful when you are trying to get sponsors, dont promise things that may not happen!
