I actually have a MA tape frame. It works just fine. Markus gives you lots
of extra tape and a slightly longer frame but you can pull them tight. You have
to tell him that it's for a 400 so the tape azimuth is right, but I've found
his frame to be very nice. To be honest, the original or Streetly frames are
a bit easier and seem looser, but to be fair, Markus makes a very nice
product. But to also be fair, I would have to say that if the investment was the
same, I would prefer the Streetly frame. No offense to you Markus, you're an
incredible craftsman. If the dollar/pound deal was bad, I would seriously
think about the difference. I may order a Streetly frame and tapes soon. If they
have held their prices, they would get my business.
So to Markus I would say that I would buy another frame from you. However, I
like the fact that Streetly has advanced frame technology. But then again,
Markus makes an exceptional tape frame box.

On a more serious note, I seem to recall from a while back that M400 frames
fit into MK VI models, but MK VI frames are a bit too large for an M400.
Anyone else remember that?
Odd, mine is made of aluminum.

I have a Streetly M400 tape frame in a Mark VI and it fits fine....and
it's built like a brick shit house.
