Hi Richard and all
All 10 units have been bent up, about 4 of these have been set up on a bit of plate and tinkered with so the hinging works and the bits fit together and look right.
The welding is a bit of an issue. The originals were oxy welded and this is very time consuming and costly. I am looking at tig welding as mig and stick welding just do not look good. I may have to go back to the oxy.
The other thing is the arm off the top bracket is riveted on. I have the rivets but must make the tools to rivet.
Once they are finished, I feel they will look the part.
A friend is helping with the final fitting etc but is currently away. For me personally I will be glad to finish the job. Having them out their on carriers will be worth the effort.
Please hold out. There almost done. A long wait but I'm sure it will be worth it.
Nigel
