Re: Building a Shorty

I don't understand the relationship of the UTR and a Shorty. Are we talking about building a Shorty or something with two carriages with one supporting a UTR. JimiDuke resurrected this nearly year old thread with a completely off topic question and it has taken off from there with nothing to do abo...

Re: Building a Shorty

[/quote] Okay, in looking at the pics comparing a 500<->510, I really don't see why a UTR can't be mounted on a model 500 carriage.

Re: Building a Shorty

Hey just a couple questions about this build. Did the 500 table fit without modification on the 510 carriage? If not how did you get it to work?
