Thanks Cliff, I have seen some on ebay, but was hesitant. I've bought things in past which have subsequently proven to be incorrect.

After lunch (and a brief nap) I made and attached the two cross braces for the rear of the gun shield. With a little daylight to spare, I started cutting out the main opening. Got the rough work done, and a small amount of finishing work. I managed to burn out a grinder doing the initial work. It won't be coming back to life, I wouldn't think. The filing required to get everything neat, is painful. I'll sleep well tonight.

My apologies, the photos are not great quality. I took them in a hurry.
