Looks like I was trying to make all items and hardware for rear hull before my accident. Sorry if I jump around...have a little ADD going on.

These first pics are of me making bolts for rear exhaust shroud covers, using brass rod and some ABER bolt heads.

Had a bit of an accident and had a couple surgeries. 2017 has been not very good for me!!

Judging by your finely detailed brass work, all that time spent around surgeons has paid off; you've put it together with surgical precision! Fantastic stuff.

Hope you're doing well Burgy, glad to see you back in action mate. All the best for a safe and speedy recovery!
