Jo, Glad you found my holding method useful. |

Thanks guys. RGY: that one goes to very near the top of the "why the hell didn't I think of that a long time ago" list. Many thanks! Joe |

Re Tread Plate: Seem to remeber this tip: Anneal some thin brass shim Get a nice coarse file and place the shim on top. Squeeze in vice jaws, hydraulic press or fly press. If not steel plate on top and one goodly whack with a lump hammer! Anyone else aware of this? |

I've been making some progress, but been neglecting to post it... making some bolts for the cable fairlead, using the filing rest to create the hex head: straightforward filing and drilling to make the angles, simple turning to make the rollers, and looks like this: Ground a tool to make the ring fitting for the water-feed banjo test for fit after riveting in the floor plate partway through riveting the outer shell adding the drawstraps, and the water fitting is soldered on the bottom fairlead installed all around cleanup, and a good coat of self-etching primer and lots of re-assembly: And that's going to be it for quite a while, I've got 2 weeks left before I leave town for work until September... :wave: I'm pretty happy with this winter's progress!
