Ian was trying to get the mod "upgraded" from "approved
for all types" to "a standard mod". Both allow the SF9
route as you describe, but the "approved for all types"
were authorised earlier so the documentation is not
necessarily so good.
So the only difference would be that the documentation
would be "better" :-)

Ps I cringed when I addressed the pressing on of the carb
heater (100 each) onto a carb (400 each ?) that I
chickened out and sent the whole lot back to SkyDrive to
do. The best 20 insurance premium I have ever paid ! So
much easier to do when you have done 100 previously - you
know how mcuh to file off and how hard you can squeeze (or
hit with a hammer !)
