I'm probably creating work for myself that is not really necessary but it just feels appropriate.

There is a lot of small parts that will never be seen but it's just part of the process.

All that's left is the internal spring loaded stop locator which will be half a day I'm sure

Hey Jack, you are absolutely correct. I have to admit, I made the handle 3 times cause I just wasn't happy enough Now I am.

I made a lever for the other end but I still need to work out what to do there. The final drives are fitted with a park brake that is held on with a spring valve and needs low pressure to release it. I just need to have a look in my never throw away anything hydraulic area for a suitable part . Anyway I'm happy with the result, it fits, it's painted and another step done. The list is still long but heading the right direction all the time.

It's that time of the year when people go on holidays and if you don't have some things you need then you just gotta wait but that's ok, I just adjusted my direction and do some of the internal. I have enough or the original base to reproduce but not to use. It is all 2mm ally and they certainly used their aviation manufacture at it's best.
