Yes indeed Colin, my whole frame is repro and made by a countryman of yours although I don't know him as it was all arranged years ago by another forum member.
I can see the missing notches you refer to, and I guess he just cut some corners to keep the price within reason. Ron

I have just made the earth straps and there is 4 for each unit. I have cut some 1/2" copper pipe and used that as the ferrule on the ends and that gave me about 3/4" as per the original once flattened.

It can be a bit tricky drilling a large "ish" hole in thin copper without distorting it so the best way I have found is to drill multiple pieces in between two pieces of angle or flat plate that is bolted together. You do end up with nice clean holes and the copper has nil distortion. Job done

Once again, very nicely done!

Thankyou all, and Lynn sorry I can't help you there as it was one of those things to buy at an auction for next to nothing then start looking when you get home only to find you have a roll of braided wire. In fact I bought a floor polisher and that was just part of it for a grand total of $28AU
