Thats right Ed, sorry for the lack of photo's. Remember I am rusty on making threads, as I have been off for a while, LOL.
I got the phone out for photo's then my son came home getting his motor cross bike etc to go away, then when I went back to it I forgot all about taking photo's. It only took about 1/2 hour and was just a fill in job as I am waiting on pop rivets for my coolant tray I am still working on.
The cover is a Meister DRO cover which normally has a lip on the top, I cut it off and cut off some of the bottom to fit.
It would be just as easy to use a piece of 1.5 - 1.6mm angle there.
The backing plate/spar is 6mm thick, and I found I could mill it down 4.5mm (leaving 1.5mm) and still have plenty of room for the spanner which is just a cheap Chinese one.
The bolt I grabbed was a perfect fit, and I slipped in a bearing while I was there like I did to the mill when I got it. It make locking an axis so much easier with a bearing between the bolt and the tapered slug in the lock hole.
