I was also a bit afraid of the unloading. We used long lenghts of 2 x 10 to slide it down, turn it around and gently flip it back upright. It actually went pretty smoothly, but you're right, it's sure heavier than it looks.

If you have a direct line to Grant, please let me know, because I've tried email through MLU and PM to contact him for the manuals but without success and I would really love to obtain them before doing anything. I think that they are manuals SB-8 and SB-8A.

For the lunette, I'm optimistic in life, so I'm not giving up hope of finding the missing bits! The support rails shouldn't be much of a problem to fabricate if I can find the correct profile of U channel. There's also the option of casting new parts if I can find originals to copy from.

Thanks for the offer of help, I will probably take you up on it as I'm sure I'll need quite a bit of support!

Cheers,
François
