Today was spent working on the antenna mounts for the roof. So far one is pretty much done except for some minor welding. I stopped as I ran out of gas for the welder. The plates were copied from an original British FFW plate I had picked up years ago. The ends were pressed braked to get the radius bends to fit over the roof structure.
To make these bends in the 1/8” plate I had to make up a small press brake jig to use in the shop press. I’m quite impressed with what it can bend.
