The weather here is cold and snowing so spent a couple of days in the shop.
Made the links that connect to the quadrant, then had to make bolts. Used 1/4 stainless turned to 1/8th and threaded 5-40. made the locking nuts at the same time.
That dent in the boss was from the vice, looks a lot worse than it is.
Then tackled the quadrant.
Used a sacrificial plate on the rotary table and pinned it.
Made the block that slides in it at the same time. Need to do a little file work on the ends of the slot.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
