Bet the aren't all Cornish pasties are made in Cornwall Though what constitutes made in the UK nowadays, does it mean that Schumacher source/manufacturer every component within the UK? Be nice to think that this once great manufacturing country still actually makes stuff rather then getting it made in China and shipped back.

Hi Steve,

After having a quick look at my Cat SX box I couldn't find any mention of being 'Made in UK', so had a quick search and found the post I remember reading last year which mentioned that Schumacher source some parts from China. Maybe they once made everything within the UK, but not now.......?

Mine go under the belt and through the servo mount. Its a squeeze but it'll keep the wires away from the moving bits.(I hope lol)

First drive tonight and I am pleased with it. The build was all straight forward and the only tricky bit is the electrics which took a while to keep the wires out of the way of the belts. just practice now to get used to a new car.
