If the morris is also prone, then maybe starting with bronze instead of cast iron is a good move for anyone tackling this in the future?
hi Lynn

Yes I did look into bronze but don't know where to get it, its a special manganese bronze they use. I got the cast iron bar from Flocast , at North Coburg . The iron they make is a machining grade , it does not have the superhard skin that will blunt your tools !
