Rich, Is that angle iron dimension not in Nigels Vol 3 book, in the drawing box?, If not can measure for you. I think that angle iron has a 'kink' in it both ends.

kev.

Yes that's right Kev it kinks where the armour squares are, I have done this with mine... To be totally honest I completely forgot to check the plans box that came with Nigel's book, so with that in mind, and a red face I might add, I will run through to the dining room and check

Hi Richie,

You are making good progress now it seems. Well done so far! Glad you finally updated your thread. Like to keep up with your resto. Thanks.

It was nice meeting you at W&P even if it was just for a short moment. I do hope you will be there next time with your Carrier!

Cheers,

It's going to be there if I can afford to ship it there, that is my main problem... It was a pleasure to meet you too by the way.

Kev I looked through Nigels book / plans but no joy.

I think he wants the rivet spacings not the dimension of the angle iron its self.
