That's about all the side steelwork done except for the rivets. All holes are drilled and I'll try and get it riveted tomorrow.

I gave my son Andrew a job to sort out some rivets but I think his artistic side took priority for about 10 minutes. Never mind. I will probably make the exhaust cover next while I'm on this side.

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 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.

Thankyou Frantisek!
I did some more of the front which now makes it quite ridged and really interesting part is a angle gusset that is hidden from view with the numbers 6 and 9 centre punched in it and it was probably done during it's time of manufacture. There is also a part number as well.

Time for the other side which created a problem as it is made from 14mm thick steel and it is not available, only 12mm & 16mm which I had both of. my only option was to cut the pieces to the correct size and them mill them down to 14mm. That was no fast process
