Great piece of kit, do you have any drawings for this please ?

Thanks very much to everyone and i am hoping to get going with it all very soon and even more so armed with the additional information.

I can say that the original posting had it within when it was created

Looking at the drawings and actually loading the drawings into Autodesk Inventor 2016 so that i can make sure it all fits and works and that i am getting it right.

I also means i can see it built before i start doing any actual engineering.

However i started this model 28 years ago when at school and then sold it as i grew up

How i regret that !!

I have the use of a 5 axis CNC milling machine so rather than casting cylinders i would rather just machine it out of billet hence why i am wanting to find where i can buy it from

The question is simple and i think i know the answer but just want to check up with you guys.

The frames are riveted to the buffer and drag bars. How are the stretchers fixed ? I can only think they are bolted because the material thickness is quarter inch and there are no angle brackets to rivet through.

That is my assumption anyway i hope you can guide me it the possible errors of my ways.

Hello all, i am wanting to find out exactly what gunmetal is and where it can be bought at sensible rather than over inflated prices.
