Default CMP box

Thanks Grant . I couldn't open your post until I down loaded Adoby on this new computer . I see them now . To make the clamps if you have a clamp for a pattern ,you make two molds with cement using the clamp for a pattern, and two rods for lining up the clamps ,Add some metal reinforcing bars in the cement . When it is hard put a sheet of flat iron ruff cut a bit bigger then you need in between and press them together to shape a new clamp. Trim to size when done .I think a little grease on the molds would help also . When pressing I would put a heavy plate on each side so as not to crack the cement PS I had sent a copy to Mike Timoshyk at Windsor ONT .He made a box and posted here when he restored his F15 CMP .I saw him on History Channel pulling two carriers out of the bush to restore last week Small world
