Welcome Craigs380. I think this site can pretty much solve any problems you have with your bolt.
I would suggest for the fastest answers to try put the questions in the correct forum as all Bolters may not visit all the forums. Good luck with a great project and keep us posted. Also we love pictures when you can post a link to them.
Enjoy your stay and make it a loooong one. And yes, your friend will apreciate you pointing him in the right direction.
