This is the second time I made most of these parts as I never listened to my own advise (Measure twice and cut once) and how I hate making mistakes Anyway I just quickly recut and got back on track. I don't know at this stage what goes in here but one of the baskets still had the original small door in it. How lucky am I.

Thanks Mike
I have completed another 4 units which are for the wireless battery storage. They also sit directly in front of the turret stays.

Well that's all the bins completed for both turret baskets. I now need to repair the angle frame that sits on the bottom and I can reassemble them.

still working on my turret basket internal frame machining down the oversize angle. Such a shame the original just turns to powder.

Done a test fit and all appears to be a good fit. It just seem to be highly over engineered.
