John, I could kiss ya! Thank you for clearing that up for me.
I will go ahead and order the kit I was watching on ebay.
I always have anxiety when ordering things that I know only enough about to get into trouble.
Much appreciated.

Lionel, it's Ross Prince you are thinking of. He deals mostly in NOS parts. I prefer to go for new if possible, these days anyway. Been caught out with NOS on ebay a while ago, which were age deteriorated and probably should have been discarded........but then I came along. I suspect I have an unpleasent surprise waiting for me in the future. I used NOS leather seals on one area of my rear axle. Now that iI know slightly more than those days (but not much) I would NEVER use NOS seals unless dire need.

Finished the gun shield this morning. Attention now turns to getting all the equipment brackets made and attached. I don't have a guillotine or good folder, so someone else will do that job. I have templates of each part needed, so it will be an easy task. The seat bracket will be made at the same time.

Started searching for, and downloading, any artwork which may be useful for future sign cutting. The RAEME one should look nice. I didn't know what each countrys dept of defence marking looked like until I found this graphic. It will come in handy for stencil making.
