You should post in the relevant subforum (ie svo users). Their are lots of 2H's that have been converted. I don't think that half of the stuff you are looking at is needed for a brisbane climate and might just be a waste of your hard earned cash. I suggest that you read up on the SVO USERS sub forum about the 2H conversions. I would however suggest that you buy some quality tools while your over in the us of a as they are cheap for great brands like craftsman. Take it easy and welcome. Cheers Nick.
