You were too busy trying to stop your head from melting.

It was on the way back from the curry house just past the bar with the Vastos in the window.

But if it's a saftey chain.....and the motor's spinning round, will it not get tangled up?????
or am i being thick here........:o :confused:

Larry B Entertainment

Some of the motors designed for heavy balls have a second attachment for a safety chain which also spins round on the main axle.

A very light one yes, hence the reason it could get 'wedged' :)

This is the best bit--

Do not install this product without seeking engineering advice and be sure there is access for the ball to be taken into the building.

Perfect for Dave ( Dragonfly ) he will go for this I reckon---he loves mirror balls--just dont drop it on your foot Dave :eek:
