just off topic, on your boat pic, I see in Qld the eEgo numbers are ok on the rear of the boat. My boat was a Qld registered boat and had the numbers there also, a couple of weeks ago Vic water police came alsong side and told me they must be at the bow under the gunnel or higher up. Maritime safety Victori web site confirmed what they told me. So I had to cramel wheel the old ones of and fit new ones. W.A has different regs on letter size and colour, so Aus wide is not uniform in regs.

Something else I did to the Xbrake doubled the rear pad size as well as the 40mm lever extension
