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.

I'll bet it's actually aluminium...
 
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.
