For weight and dependability reasons (no transformer, fully LED) I have decided to go with a Wheelan setup. I still have the XPAC, unused. If anyone would like to have all or part of it for spare parts, I would be happy to send them for the cost of P&P.

Including if you have them the results of any load testing, which is curre ntly (?) the 'sticking point' with LAA in the UK. Not that the load tests w ould be difficult; just need doing. BTW up to 40g momentarily has been shown to be survivable, not that the geo metry of the modification would itself take anywhere near that directly.
