Paul,
Well Butch was right, it is taking longer than I thought - it's all those stiffeners, what a bugger of a job !!

I cut up all the strips(4 for each) and find I used some for the wrong parts and have to cut up more - then I'd lose some in the
workshop. Real fun !!

Anyhow their just about done now, I've had to sand them all from front to back for casting clearance, as your aware.

It's a little different from your drawings so I will send a photo for you to pass a glance over it before their stuck down
permanently.

Butch must have a good visual idea of the outcome because it genuinely looks very impressive and robust - I had cut an extra
stiffener for the bottom, but it then looks too busy !

I've been playing with the starter location, and although it looks very good, it's different than Tracy's drawing (quite a bit),
it may be the difference in the starter type - Sooo I'm suggesting I leave the starter location to you to clarify. I will do a
drawing of what I think it will be and perhaps we can come to a meeting of the minds - so to speak.

Have a look at this drawing on the starter position - it's rough I know, but got to start somewhere.
