Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for your advices.
I will go for the set from Phil's link.

I have watched a video from US owner. It looks straightforward but there
was few questions that Peter and Simon already explained.

The only thing I don't know is the tool for metal clips. Do you think this
will work?
