I recon youve hit the nail on the head with your last post there Foggy, thats what makes it "tight " putting the housing back up too.

Freaky, my one and only speeding fine was by a mobile unit set up behind a hedge, right on the change form a 60 to a 30, just as you go through the village, before you turn right down the lanes to get to santapod. I know it well and I have a very nice picture of the back of my car, brake lights on, ...
