So with Easter being a long weekend I spent a few hours in the garage plasma cutting and then doing a little tidying up with the grinder, almost finished, just need to make up the center bit on the lathe at work.First photo is of the one I have on loan (cheers Alex) second photo is the wooden templates and the cut outs after a tidy up.

Although not correct, they would work on one of your carriers. You might want to keep it.

Dammit ive been too busy to get anymore done. Planning on cutting the holes for the side plates on the lathe in a 4 jaw chuck when I get some spare time. Pintle hook looks good in place but not bolted on just yet.

So it took a little while but finally got it finished. There was a bit of tidying up with the file and flapper disc on the grinder then bit of welding to piece it together. Talk about a brain explosion whilst trying to remember how to do an eye splice in the wire rope, didn't turn out too bad after referring to youtube. I need to take a link out of one side of the tracks as they have loosened up a little from the extra bit of riving of late.
