Ian, I did blast the ends after I finished the earth straps and I probably won't tin them but if I do I'll post some pics.
I found a source of mounts but they are in 300mm lengths and I'm sure they think they are gold plated. I guess there's not much call for these. Anyway so be it and they were blank lengths and too wide so I carefully cut them to strips and then trimmed each side. Very awkward in the bandsaw as the rubber bends and distorts so I had to put strategic packers with each cut as I had no spares left after cutting. (24 required)
A top hole, 2 slot holes then a sand blast and another part completed.
Colin
