In Holland the police is one's best friend, or so they say

Let's keep this in the right prespective guys, it's a matter of giving and taking having to be in balance. So Eddy & Richie, take out those measuring tapes and help Radek with his much needed measurements

PS: while you are at it, Siemon is in need of some measurements as well

Thanks,

Like I say mine is repro, and I had no reference when unmade the section but here goes

I have to upload them off site as I am using apple products























Like I say could be wrong but I made it work.

I still need to put the fillet in on the upright angle bar as you can see it's missing

The hole in the front plate should be threaded. The screw has a shoulder on it and this is what the swinging plate pivots off of. The head of the screw is not flush with the front of the swinging plate.

Is the positioning etc the same between mk1 and mk2 ? Perhaps Jordan could offer his up for measurements ? As stated above mine could be wrong.... That said the swing plate was a direct copy of an original mk1.

I will rebuild the thing tonight..... Busy putting elbows back on conduits that I took off to assist other MLU'ers too ! Busy night ahead for me 😜
