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.

Of course it is over engineered ... it's British!

Great, it all fits and the next fab job is the turret stays. I will make a press tool bar to make these as they are about 900mm long, tapered and a 180deg return on each side for strength.

The stays are 3mm ally and they are tapered 200mm out to 340mm. I made a former for my press brake to get the 180 return on both sides. They are extremely rigid once pressed.
