Default Superb stuff Colin...

Really great to see you bringing these back to their former glory..

I always enjoy having a look at your posts. Its my evening television so keep em coming!!

Also makes my metal work skill seem woefully inadequate especially when I get excited making a TAC sign holder.

Thanks Tony, I'm glad you like them and I'm happy to show and share any work I've done if it can help. I also just had a end of the day burst of energy and welded the boxes so the only thing left is the clips. That's definitely tomorrows job.
Colin.

Made some clips to finish the stowage boxes. These are so time consuming but very important.

These are some little bending machines I've made out of scrap but they do work very effective. I just need to make the little clip retainers and weld them on the boxes.
