I've sorted it for you this time, but I'm sure ImageShack has an option for re-sizeing photos upon uploading, or you could use the forum's own photo upload system which can be accesed using the 'Attach File' link shown below the text box you enter your post to.

And the rivets are actualy the heads of hornby track pins super glued into 1.5mm deep holes that i drilled then i painted it with VHT engine matt black paint..... And suprisingly after the last few runs it has survived :):) and i put the gas up MUCH hgigher than will ever need it for a few mins and still survied that :)
