Come on Howard, be nice now! There goes the Xmas list.
I'm in the process of replicating the exhaust cover and they certainly went to a lot of trouble. |

I'm ever so glad to have an original to copy.

I had to put a hole in the 1/2" plate so I used my rotary table and milled it to the exact diameter.

A test fit and it's all good, So I'll put the holes in it tomorrow and do the rest of it.

I'm having to make the cast exhaust guard which is quite thick so I found an old hydraulic ram of the right dia but it has a flair on the end. My cropper is 160 ton PSI so I know it had the power but it is a bit on the dangerous side. I'm fully aware of workshop accidents
But it worked a treat

I made the end flange, welded it to the guard and ground it to shape. I made a pair of hot rivet formers and riveted the guard to the end plate.
