Yep got mine too just need to settle up
 very very good indeed Ben so well done there ! i still need to make the springs, pin and get the cheese head bolts but other than that they sure do look the part !Ben can you send me the electronic pics you have... the two printed ones for the springs are both the same size (i suspect someone may have two drawings for two short springs with their pintles) just goes to show what can be achieved when groups pool together help out where they can and get the job done.... in this case that group has mainly consisted of Ben hahaha. but you get my point right.

A job well done
I could tell by the photos he posted that they were very good. Rick DeBruin had some stuff done in Canada that also looked very good. It makes some of the stuff I had cast here look like cr*p.
These are the bits that finish a nice carrier.

Pintles
Ben, Thanks for the pintles today, very high standard. I found up an original ford canada retain lever, I heated up one of the straight type levers you supplied with the pintles and curved it round to match.
Tomorrow at work I will raid the stores to look for the odd size retain pin, I will get some BA cheese head set screws, and split pins. If I get lucky and they have some pins that match I will make some pins sets up if people need them The springs I will make from spring steel, best to drill the two holes first in a flat piece and profile out the spring shape (drill bit tends to wander on this metal). Lynn - Will take pictures of the steering wheels tomorrow, we dragged them out of the garage today. Thanks Ben, kevin.
