I've spent another day on the 2 pdr assembling the foot pedals and firing linkage.
When I dismantled the gun I realised that the foot pedal support was badly rotten and had twisted . I rebuilt the support but had an inkling in the back of my mind that the three eyes and bushes that support the pivot bar may not line up when reassembling the parts and guess what, they didn't. It took the best part of the morning reaming the bushes out a gnats cock at a time until the pivot bar passed through all three locations and moved nice and freely.
The linkage is now assembled and working a treat ,I also fitted the new floor pan that Adrian B made for me and guess what it fitted like a glove !
