Hi Mowerfreak and CyberJack

CyberJack, Anorak syndrome - never heard the name, but I certainly suffer from it; mower spotting, car spotting, researching odd topics etc. Hit the nail right on the on the head mate.

Its just lucky that I didn't try to compare the 2 materials used in terms of things like the Young's elastic modulus, Yield stress, Ultimate Tensile Stress.
Can't remember if second moment of area applies in this instance (especially as I only know how to use it in relation to a static beam).

Mowerfreak, I don't think I will ever run out of trimmer line. From memory, I have 15m of 2mm, 30m of 3mm, the 2.4mm 250m $20 role from Bunnings, 30m left of 2.4mm Saxon line.

And about 35m of 2.4mm line I got from the tip last week - $12 for a Line trimmer, the 35m of line, and a VN Commodore Executive instrument cluster (and no, I don't have a VN so I have no excuse) :)


By the way, CyberJack, thank you for looking into the issue with the replys and quoting. Seems UBBCode is disabled - Html is the only option.

Thanks again
