Hi
Lads
Got a bit more machining done tonite
[Image: IMG_4426.jpg]
I turned down the heads of the cap heads to be a tight fit in the counter bore
They work like a "fitted bolt"

That wont move like the original one

Tool on center height gave me a good scribe line for the rear finger

Nice one John , its coming along canny Smiley-signs107 , it makes you wonder why Boxford did not do it this way as its a better job yet more simple than the one thay created Sadno, I think you should have worked on the Boxford design team myself. Big Grin
Cheers Mick

P.S Cheers about the photos Dave lol , I just pointed the camera on auto to be honest Slaphead
