Come on Howard, be nice now! There goes the Xmas list.
I'm in the process of replicating the exhaust cover and they certainly went to a lot of trouble.

I had to put a hole in the 1/2" plate so I used my rotary table and milled it to the exact diameter.

I'm having to make the cast exhaust guard which is quite thick so I found an old hydraulic ram of the right dia but it has a flair on the end. My cropper is 160 ton PSI so I know it had the power but it is a bit on the dangerous side. I'm fully aware of workshop accidents But it worked a treat

I made the end flange, welded it to the guard and ground it to shape. I made a pair of hot rivet formers and riveted the guard to the end plate.
